I cut a 3/8 pipe coupler, and it jams the pickup in place. The Teflon tale idead is great. I'll use that too. Thanks

I finally found the tick. After I changed , the heads, rockers, rocker shafts, timing gears and chain cam and lifters. The beeping oil pick up tube was banging on the pan. I pulled the engine, thinking it might be a wrist pin. And found an edge on the pickup, was rough, and a hammered line on...

You also do not need a ballast resistor.

Well I fixed russtoy. I replaced the ignition system. Profirm makes a Chrysler licensed repop of the orange box and distributor. And I am using a plain black coil. Car has run great.

Welcome, also in Minnesota, North central.

I like the journey too. You can build it the way you want. Hopefully it turns out the intended way. If not, try it again. Plus you get the ego boost, from all the nice car comments.

I got russtoy running again. I put in all new proform, Chrysler licensed electronic ignition. No ballast resistor. The coil is designed to run on 12 volts. It does have the orange box. It's been good for a couple hundred miles.
