    Dimmer switch

    Normally, the gauge cluster is removed first, then the dimmer switch is removed from the back. The steering column needs to be unbolted/lowered to get the gauge cluster out (& steering wheel removed)

    Different ways to pull the engine

    Dang. I would be tempted to just remove the grill to put the cam in. The rest is bolt-on

    Stuff in coolant

    The sludge looks like casting sand

    70 RR fuel tank ground strap location?

    I soldered mine to a short piece of wire, drilled a hole on the rear shock cross brace & grounded it right there

    Ignition coils? Spend big or go cheap?

    Your Mallory coil will be just fine. My last Mallory lasted 7-8 yrs

    New bucket seat foam kits for 71/72 (71-74) RR/GTXs? How did you do the seat backs?

    I have no real world information on this, but I would strongly prefer trimming seat foam vs modifying the seat frame/springs

    Throwout bearing touching fingers.

    At a glance it looks like the wrong throw out bearing. Is there any room towards the back of the transmission for the throw out bearing to slide back? It looks so large that there is no room???

    Heater hose pipe nipple

    It’s a tool to screw in the nipple, then it’s removed

    Coil with intermittent signal?

    I’ve had a coil go out like that. When it got hot, it wouldn’t fire. Cooled off, it would fire up again. Check for a bad connection first. Also….I had a Chrysler ignition box do that exact same thing too. When I replaced that box, it looked kind of “melted” on the back

    *** Poll - Electronic Ignition & Ballast Resistor ***

    Ballast resistor with a Chrysler ignition box and no ballast resistor with a MSD box. I’ve run several of both systems

    383 HP valve sizes

    R413 is correct. To convert to”HP” you’d install flat top pistons and a slightly larger cam….done! Oh, and maybe a different carburetor. Now it’s an HP motor

    Could someone help me understand the difference between upgrading your points to an electronic ignition compared to installing a coil/ignition box

    Agreed….and maybe just the ignition pickup and not the whole distributor.

    Could someone help me understand the difference between upgrading your points to an electronic ignition compared to installing a coil/ignition box

    That’s basically the same thing. 1. Points ignition was used up until 1971 or early 1972 and uses an ignition coil, but does not use an ignition box. Points are inside the distributor 2. Electronic ignition began in 1972 and also uses an ignition coil, but has a magnetic pickup inside the...
