I bought mine from YearOne ($47.74) in June 2021 it has been working great since. When full gauge is pegged beyond F then when on E there is still 3 or 4 gallons in the tank. And it will drop below E if your not paying attention (lol). Full range!

Thanks T2R9 for the carb info. Thanks Bee1971 - I'm 100% sure about firing order is correct and the plug wire orientation is correct AND distributor rotor pointing to #1 TDC (I numbered the cap and wires to be certain). Since swapping the distributor I spoke with Ray then had some...

I just swapped complete distributor from halifaxhops (Ray Brenner from FBBO with new points, condenser, rotor, cap) & recent new Champion plugs. Repositioned and verified distributor rotor at #1 position at TDC compression stroke (plug wires were shifted by 1 position from before pics I had)...

Hello Gang, my '71 road runner caught the bird flu and I don't know if it's fuel or ignition. I have a Carter AVS 4966S that was remanufactured then rebuilt recently (March 2023) by Dave Woodruff (Woodruff Carburetor Specialties advertised here at FBBO). At that time when I got it back I popped...

Hey bigorange-426, 2 1/2 years ago I sent my Carter AVS to Dave Wooodruff (Woodruff Carburetor Specialties) advertised here on FBBO. He asked that I also send him my distributor too so that he could put a curve in it as well as the specifics of my car. He rebuilt the carb and curved the...

WOW! Thanks everyone great support effort from the "B" Team! P.S. I'm embarassed to tell my distributor "follies" story that lead me to this... it was time for a reboot! :bananadance:

SEE picture in original post above - looks OK just shallow and chamfered along the edges

Thank you! maybe the Harbor Freight Impact Socket is junk ($4.99) lol. Is your 1 1/4" socket 12 or 6 point or did you just meaure the bolt(s)? *Also, do your bolts look like mine (pictured above) with "LE" marking and tapered edges and shallow?

hunt2elk, can you please go check if it fits on one of your big block harmonic balancer bolts now? AutoZone has one open 'til 10PM EST...

yeah it is too difficult to accurately measure with tape or calipers due to the pulley around it and the fan. Maybe the Harbor Freight 1 1/4" impact socket is crappy... and the bolt head is tapered and quite shallow :(

Greetings BBuddies: The Google resources said 1 1/4" so I bought a 6 point 1/2 drive impact socket from Harbor Freight and it is too big, with aluminum foil covering the bolt head it grabs and can turn but I don't want to damage the bolt or worse slip off and damage my knuckles lol. My Nova...

Hey cjgad, I recently swapped my 3rd member "solo" and used this method to remove and install - here are my tips: 1. Get the car up high enough to operate effectively. I put drive up ramps under the front wheels wheels and purchased these tall sturdy jack stands from Harbor freight to hold up...

I replaced mine a few years ago and YES they were very tough to get the stalk shafts inserted! I used emory cloth/fine sand paper to polish the shafts and even put grease on them and really had to force them on. They're stiil very tight to flip up and down, need 2 hands and have to rotate near...

Good evening tribe: I'm replacing my worn out distributor with one from Halifaxhops (thanks for the referrals, we spoke this morning) and wondering what type of “purple” cam I have as seen by looking down the hole with the distributor removed. Please see picture below, you can see a purple gob...

Hello Mopar Gurus & Geeks: Has anyone bought from or had refurb dione by Joe's Mopar Distributor Restoration? I found him by Google search and talked with him this afternoon, seems like a standup guy and can give you what you want (stock, OEM/NOS, custom, points or electronic) complete with...
