Thanx guys for your help. I am getting 9volts at my coil so my aftermarket MSD blastor 2 should be ok I think and not causing the problem.

Factory spark plug spacing and air gap is correct. Thanx for your responses. Please continue to help me brain storm.

Hello I have a 70 charger with a 440hp stock engine. I just converted to a electronic distributor with the summit conversion kit. I also added a MSD blastor 2 coil. Car will run for a week and then stall and distributor rotor head is warped and inside of distributor cap? I replace them and then...

thank you for your help. Please post pics of your ECU and new voltage regulator set up. nk

I have a 1970 dodge rt charger numbers matching triple black from the factory 440 with floor console automatic. it is 85% restored. Just needs final tx9 paint, interior door panels, dash pad cap, head liner, rear speaker felt cover and rear speakers, new seat cover for drivers side. Would you...

I am changing my stock distributor set up to a summit racing electrical distributor conversion kit. The kit comes with a ECU and my question is: do I replace my stock voltage regulator with the new ECU that comes with my conversion kit? Or will I have to still keep my stock voltage regulator...

could I just disconnect the plug that goes into my stock regulator? Or if I did this something else wouldn't work?

Battery's good it new. Please tell me more about how to disconnect my stock regulator since my new alternator has a regulator attached to it and I am not using my field connections due to its a one wire hookup alternator.

With the one wire hook up alternator, it has a built in regulator so it's not even hooked up to my stock regulator. Is there something else that runs through my stock regulator still that woukd be causing my problem?

So I put in a 100 amp one wire alternator and tested my battery to make sure it's getting fully charged. I originally had a 65amp alternator that was wired with the 2 field wire connection. So during test drive all went well till I pulled up to a light and put my blinker on. I could hear the...

I think this will be my first elimination. I don't have relay and proper wire kit installed I wired it directly to my fuse box accessory 10amp fuse. Would this diagnosis still match the symptoms of my lights dimming and windshield wipers slowing down and car idle slows and almost dies when I...

At night when I have my lights on and am at a stop light idling or slow down close to a stop my dash lights start to dim and the idle almost starts to die as if I'm loosing power or the electronic fuel pump is taking to...

1970 dodge rt charger. My speedometer needle in my gage is moving randomly all back and forth from 20-110 miles an hour. Everyince and awhile it will do this and my Speedo cable sounds like its stuck. En I will slow down or stop and it goes away. Any idea what the probldn is? Is this just my...

I got it started by putting in a carter electric fuel pump and bypassing the mechanical pump. I have a rebuilt Holley carb and the rebuilt engine sounds and runs great when it is in idle but as soon as I put it into drive or reverse and put on the gas it dies. We saw some dirty fuel go into my...

Please help me trouble shoot. I turn the key and get nothing. I have as 1970 rt charger I fully restored. It was running before I started restoration. Engine was rebuilt and most of my parts, just prefaced gages and connected all wiring. We turned the key and nothing. Please let me know what I...
