Yes, I removed the small black wire from the molex on the switch side and then cut off the connector about three inches before the molex and taped it up very good. Thanks again

All good!! False alarm. I checked my voltage to the radio and it was getting 11.6 volts. I guess it needed a little more. I started the car and let the battery charge a little and the radio lights came on and then music and it's good. Thank you for everything. The best news is installing the new...

Hey 72, I have something that's confusing me, and it has never made sense. So, I remove the black wire. Then the orange wire on the compartment side molex -- the spot where the mystery black wire would plug into -- how does that get any power now that the black wire is removed? I cut the black...

Thank you. I watched the video and then I saw it was YOUR video. It was excellent.

I'm installing a new ignition switch on a 72 RR and I've seen multiple places that if you install it as is, the small black wire on the new switch (that is supposed to illuminate the gear selector) is actually a ground and will cause fuses to blow. Is this true? I have a console shift. How do I...

Yes Geoff, it was the #8207. I put back in the Blaster 2 and I'm getting rid of the 8207. I went through the connections and my tach is no longer jumping around and my idle is back to normal. I'm still only getting about 6 volts at coil + with the car running (and only 8.8v when I start the car)...

Hey guys. 1972 RR with 340 and mopar electronic ignition (blue box) and MSD coil. Long story short, I have a MSD Blaster 2 coil that has served me perfectly for nearly 30 years. Two days ago, I decided to install a Blaster SS coil that I bought on sale that had sat on my work bench for two...

Thanks MP. I bought a new thermostat housing with a lip for $13. It's sealed and working perfectly. Thank you for the suggestion

They sure are. I just put the chrome one I have on my work bench and it wobbles. Ugh. The one I just took off -- the one with no lip -- is perfectly flat. I'm getting a new one with a lip

I never painted that. That's how I got it. I could sand it down a little, but I think I want one with a lip.

I'm going to. I'm on my way to the parts store now

Yes. Very odd. I've got a chrome one that has a lip, but I could never get it to seal right at the manifold

Here are a couple photos

I'll post a photo shortly.

I'll check it tomorrow. But I'm beginning to think it was nothing more than a perfect storm of a slightly worn out radiator hose, a too smooth thermostat housing neck and a clamp that could have been tighter. That's what I'm hoping, at least
