Might be a good time to pull the heater box and restore it? Mike

I'm getting affected by the weather change like everyone else but, we have watered for years. Every row gets one of those black recycled rubber hoses as soon as the seeds are planted and then the boss just moves the supply hose where she deems necessary. I have been gardening since 1978. Maybe I...

Are you referring to speedie repair sleeve for a worn yoke surface? It is an option, if needed. Mike

It shouldn't take much to fabricate another. Mike

Did you call Baer to ask? Mike

That means the bearing preload is adjusted with shims so, a seal R&R is easy. Pull the yoke off (probably need a 2 jaw puller) and work around the seal with a small chisel until it pops out, install the new seal, install the yoke and torque to 250#s. Mike

Where does the MSD box get the power now? The EFI usually need 12 Volts of clean power. I use a relay for that, triggered by the blue and brown combined. That way a connection to the starter relay (large stud) will provide the power thru the relay to the EFI controller. Mike

Hence my garden: Mike

I was under the impression that you were currently using the MSD system. It should come with installation instructions. I was just suggesting a source for constant 12 volts to power the EFI. Mike

Try button head cap screws-hardware store. Mike

Sorry to say but, a lot of us are swirling around the drain. Just have to keep swimming upstream! Mike

Just tie the blue and brown wires at the ballast resister together and you will have 12 volts at cranking and running. You won't need to reduce voltage for the coil, so it is an easy source. Mike

I tuned that out and higher stall converters and steep rear gears help too. The Mopar "bibles" had setups for the Six Pack engine. Mike

Back in the old days of my former line mechanic occupation, the older mechanic next to my stall sold his older customers on repacking their u-joints. Extra labor-no parts charge. He had the salesman tongue. Mike

As long as you are gentle with the seals there shouldn't be a problem. Lube them up during reassembly. Mike
