My 64 Polara

I would say it's possible. I had a pinhole in the block casting of my Roadrunner right behind the starter. It would spirt oil on the headers when you revved it.

Toyota RTV. The same RTV I used to install it. Glue wasn't the correct word. I applied a bit in the grooves and held the side seals tight between a couple bricks and let it set up for a day.

Nothing is trash when it comes to parts. Set them out of the way. Maybe one day you will need something on them.

Thanks. Mine may have been replaced more than once, I don't know. My fronts look like that and are fine. It's the rear I had trouble with. They are removable now. If I ever have to do the front brakes in the future, they will be too.

I bought a 1964 Polara 383/727 with a 8 3/4 rear. Everything had been rebuilt but I went thru it all anyway. The brakes were my latest project. The front were fine but the rear were not. In 64 the 8 3/4 had press fit hubs. They also swaged the drum to the hub so you need a puller to remove them...

Thanks. I will try that. The part that throws me is that it will fire and run great in the run position. Much more responsive dizzy, better looking too. I was thinking that the cranking is just drawing too much power from my cheap old remaned battery to crank and fire at the same time. How many...

Well, it runs great in run. Maybe the box needs the full 12V to fire it in start.

I'm just going the have to chase each wire and verify if they are going where they are supposed to and providing the power and or connection they are supposed to. The electronic ignition was in when I bought it so I'm not sure what all they did, but it does work as wired. There's a couple of...

I did not check the gap. I will find out what it's supposed to be set at tomorrow. It does fire and run when you release the key from start to the run position. When it starts it runs great. Very snappy response compared to the original distributor. The fact that it will fire and run great...

I'm using a 4 pin and a single ballast.

No. A bit more than 10V in start and 7-8 in run. From my research of an orange box ignition that's normal. The Chrysler distributor starts and runs fine with those voltages.

69 Roadrunner 440 4 speed. Yes using a ballast. Same wiring as the original. I had to replace the connector on the new dist as they use an MSD style. Tried wiring the two dist wires both ways and I could only get it to fire in one configuration.
