I absolutely agree with you. I prefer the stock look without add-on gauges too. My last option will be an aftermarket tach. The idea with the diode sounds good, gonna try this. Will let you know

Tach signal is coming from the MSD. Seems like there's no real solution: Either have a factorey OE tach and use the MSD tach adapter which will result in weird inaccurate rpm readings. Or have the reproduced tach that can handle the MSD signal but you don't know before if your particular rep...

Got this answer from the Holley/MSD tech support: "We have found some inconsistencies with the OER type tachs, they seem to be really sensitive to the signal. We've seen where they operate normally, some do not function at all, and others that seem to work as you stated. Sometimes the 8920 tach...

Hi all, I have a 68 standard gauge dash with a tachometer. Full electronic MSD ignition setup. Hooked up the tach per MSD instructions. The tach seems like a reproduction (maybe OER). I can spot the green printed circuit board. So it should NOT need a tach adapter at all. Without it shows a...

I did all the measuring and "mods" to my factory retainer (advised in this thread and from other forums), double checked clearances... Really don't know what I can do here else. It just seems like either you are lucky and/or lucky and get the right seal too. @Doorkicker I was specifically...

I am sick of it..Viton seals: leak, fastfish one piece: leak. Used the factory retainer. Any successful attempt on installing a rope seal with engine in the car? I know there's a video on youtube doing one with crank on an engine stand..but in car another story.

This is great news! I just looked up and when I bought the car it had the 1 prong NSS installed, transmission is a '69. So I should go for the 3 prong NSS. Will try that!

@dvw I need to clarify: My engine does not crank in P, that's the problem. #1 There's no slop in the linkage, everything is checked and all parts are new. #2 As stated before it is a column shift, no floor console brackets to hit. #3 The rooster comb is the exact same as before. It has no cracks...

Dug this out. I have the same problem. Column shift, fully restored car (all bushings are new), electric new, I even changed the NSS switch (both were fine). I have a 1-prong NSS. I have adjusted the linkage several times like instructed in the FSM. On the first start it fires straight up in...

I have the middle rooster and switch! It is always working when I re-adjust the linkage. Today went for a ride, first start in P no problem. Starting again after a few accelerations, starts only in N again

Both switches I have are original Mopar!

Having pretty similiar problem. 1-prong NSS on my 727, column shifter. Car is freshly fully restored. All bushings in the linkage new. Linkage adjusted per FSM. Car starts first time in Park with no issue, after a ride it won't start in Park only in Neutral. I removed the NSS and tried the...

I am sure I lost a few posts here but I keep track of every single one so far! You guys are great. I already thank you a lot for all your comments!! @wahya Great!! I've read a lot about the Going to the Sun road. I will drive this route! @440 4 speed inbox is now cleared! @SteveSS totally...

Hi fellow FBBO-Members! I am doing the last steps and adjustments on my fully restored and stroked '68 Coronet before I leave my country for a journey to the US. My starting point is Seattle, Wa arriving this coming weekend. After that heading towards Spokane through Idaho to Montana down...

Thank you!!!!
