Putting in a relay for the ignition and feeding anything else that is keyed on is a good idea to keep load off that OEM wire and switch.

mopar cams in general were not stamped or marked with any useful info. Only way to know for sure is a dial indicator and degree wheel.

It's groundhog day around here again. The charge system on muscle era mopars have caused issues from the day they rolled off the line. Saying otherwise is just not true. Smoked bulkheads on totally OEM cars was common, especially in hot environments with AC cars. Saw cars that were under 2...

Heresy... is there an exorcism scheduled? :) Nothing wrong with having a voltmeter.

We worked on plenty of burned up totally OEM equipped cars in the 70's. Sit on an LA freeway under the conditions outlined and the bulkhead gets cooked. Had the alternator output at idle been sufficient to support the system in that driving condition, many of those rigs wouldn't have ended up...

Push the wire into the connector, use a scribe/really small paperclip to release the tab. Lisle makes a multi tool to release a lot of these connectors, 56500 Sometimes there is a ledge/lip inside the connector where that lock tab sit, keeps it locked in place.

IIRC, there shouldn't be any open circuit in the mopar plug if you disconnect the power coming in from ballast and the neg coil wire Using MSD, only wires going to coil should be the one from your box. None of the factory wires attach.

Hook the red and black wires together under the dash. A machine screw and nylock nut work well. Stack the terminals so the wires line up and put the nut on that side too. Makes a thinner set up, wrap/insulate/shrink tube it. The voltmeter needs a ground and a switched/keyed feed to work...

I'll give a sellers perspective that has a good reputation in the community. I was having this conversation with a potential buyer today regarding paypal. Theft, fees are one deal, 1099 is another (I already do my taxes and don't need to be nanny stated). If you do get a 1099, you can hammer...

Good song, I like plenty of Tull and grew up with it as you did. Heavy? As in hard rock/metal. Nope, never even considered them as such. These bands, yes.... Sabbath, Metallica, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Motorhead, Megadeth, Slayer, Testament, Dio, Pantera, Metal Church. JMO Tull more...

When Jethro Tull won best metal album, the grammy's were dead. LOL

Figures those idiots put the races on peacock. LOL Interesting to see the euro bikes coming back into MX. I remember when the Ducks were entering in US roadracing/superbike in the early 90's. Most doubted the effort. Didn't take long for them to start winning.

People pay crazy money for the OBS ford trucks. Especially the 7.3 powerstrokes

Advancing timing in most situations is fine to get better idle quality and throttle response. The book numbers are garbage in most cases as they weren't optimized to performance, a crutch to meet emissions. You have to be careful advancing idle timing as it moves you total timing number up the...
