Start around 25*, might want more idle timing. Going to have to limit mechanical advance inside the distributor. Doubt it will run well at idle with less than 20* 4 speed makes life easier.

My 2 cents Get as much load off the OEM harness as you can. Headlights, blower motor, AC compressor. It will help the system On OEM, DO NOT trigger engine compartment items using the wire that goes to the ballast resistor. Want the steering column and harness to go up in smoke. you'll kill...

The destruction that are in the box might be a good start... :) Only deal is that you have to tie the wires that feed the ballast resistor together so the box is switched on in both start and run key modes. Some leave the balast and run a single wire to the msd small red wire. The MSD and...

Well that isn't good news... Sorry to read about his passing. RIP Bob

Headlight relay kits that are essentially plug and play. Whatever you can do to reduce the load on the bulkhead/charging system, DO IT. LED lights draw more energy than you may think, the stock harness will thank you for using it only for switching relays on, no heavier load carrying. There is...

Sent you a PM and yes I still build them.

Where is there 12ga wiring in the headlight circuit of any A/B/E body car? B/E got 16ga at best IIRC. bean counters!

I stand by this: Whatever you can do to relieve the OEM harness of load, DO IT. A plug and play headlight relay system requires no butchery of a factory harness. Some actually hide nicely in the factory wiring tabs. Lots of ways to skin a cat. LED's are not a fix for the inadequate OEM...

Wiring really only cares about energy passing through it. You have the same approximate amp draw. Not going to save heat on the switch/bulkhead vs the other sealed headlight system. Not many drive cars so much as to toast the life span of a sealed halogen light. Lots of 30+ year old halogens...

Retros are not 25% of OE draw. They draw maybe 25% less (certain conditions), according to tested results from 72RRGTX who is independent of the manufacturer sale brochure stuff. They draw roughly the same as an OE 4 headlight system and only marginally less than a sealed beam halogen set up...

There should be a circuit breaker in the switch. If the switch is hot to the touch, I'd bet money the plastic wire connector is melted.

Thanks for the recommendations from members. Unfortunately, I won't be able to assist the OP in a solution. For the OP, if you want to go cheap, build a kit yourself. If you are really good at electrical, have the tools, sorting out how to make the wire runs, selecting the right relays (Not...

Part of the reason the bulkhead likes to burn up. Inadequate alternator output at idle. Along with bean counters and engineers not doing customers any favors cheaping out on the system.

All good... :thumbsup:
