    Oscilloscope - no idea how to use it !

    A scope can be the best diagnostic tool... It shows signal strength, voltage, current, for audio stuff even hum levels. That (1) reason why for audio products Marantz brand actually built a scope into their top AM/FM tuners and receivers.. Just my $0.02...

    Wheel and tire fitment

    Keep in mind.. :rolleyes: Even though Ford and Mopar wheel stud spacing are the same, the center cut-out center for Ford is smaller than Mopar. So a Mopar wheel will fit a Ford fine but not the other way around. Just my $0.02... :thumbsup:

    Orange ignition module

    Absolutely correct!!! As I have posted multiple times the later after-market and Mopar ECUs are of poor quality and short reliability... My Mopar ECU, distributor, coil, ballast resistor are now >20 years old, still going fine. I do carry spares but to date have not had to use them. I still...

    Orange ignition module

    Pertronix builds a nice system but.. Can have issues. On one of our SoCal cruises a guy had car with a Pertronix system and it went dead, every thing pointed to a defective ECU. There was a local close by parts store but they didn't carry any Pertronix parts. We were 125 miles from home...

    Points or no points? That is the question.

    The problem is the later after-market and later Mopar ignition parts are junko.... An ignition points system is far more simpler and easier to trouble-shoot than one that uses an ECU and electronic distributor. Unfortunately like so many other auto parts and crucial electronics ignition...

    440 transplant would not run without holding key to the right.....

    The dual ballast resistor was only used in the early years of the Mopar electronic ignition. Basically the 2nd part of the ballast resistor was to current protect the ignition module from high current similar to the coil current protection of the 1st part of the ballast resistor. Back in the...

    Bypass the Amp guage in my 69 440 GTX?

    As 72RoadrunnerGTX posted previously... The weak link are the bulkhead 0.25" tab connectors, a great solution is to eliminate these and drill out the bulkhead connector where the large wire goes through. Install either a direct link or a larger, straight wire such as an 8AWG or 10WG. If...

    If replacing alternator, which amperage?

    U are correct... Some Denso alternators but not all have a plug-in regulator module, however there is a wide variance of different versions. Besides being difficult to find an exact specific replacement, these plug-in regulator modules can be expensive.... At least for our traditional mopar...

    If replacing alternator, which amperage?

    The major advantage of a one-wire alternator is the benefit for the ease of installation. @idle RPM a traditional alternator with external regulator will output comparable amperage to the output of a one-wire alternator. Another downside of a one-wire alternator is that if its internal...
