    Ballast Resistor Question

    Blow up my photo and you will see the jumper I made at the BH connector. It's a 10-minute job. Mike

    Ballast Resistor Question

    Brown? It sends 12 volts to the coil-just during cranking and it is necessary, so either connect al 3 or do the concealed bypass. Mike

    Ballast Resistor Question

    For a clean look, gut the ballast and solder in a piece of 12 gauge solid wire instead of the resister. It is easy to bypass the amp gauge on these models with a bolt in jumper at the bulkhead connector. Then add a voltmeter. Mike

    Thoughts on utility vs car hauler trailers

    I ordered a tilt bed with removable fenders, solid steel diamond plate deck, torsion axles, and electric brakes in 2005 from Indiana (of course). Needs a paint job but, works well. I have pulled big boat Chryslers, pickups, several B bodies, and a few compact sized cars, plus my B-2920 Kubota...

    Thoughts on utility vs car hauler trailers

    Just carry a pair of 2x6s to extend the ramp. Once the weight is on the planks, the trailer won't drop back down. I use that method with my own tilt bed trailer. Mike

    rockers for 383

    The worn rocker looks to me to be in great shape. I would reuse those if they are all in comparable condition. Of course, the shafts must share that condition. Mike

    Petronix vs MSD

    For the money, I have become a fan of the HEI conversion. It's GM engineering but, proven on millions of OEM vehicles. Probably the cheapest electronic ignition system available. Mike

    The mighty 318.

    Just sounds to me like a spark issue. Perhaps plug or wire. It is easy to overthink these things. Mike

    Torqueflite selector rod differences?

    I built my first TF in 1970 and tons more of them since then. Not to mention T-200s, T-350s (a mainstay), T-375s, T-400s, C-4s, C-6s, Powerglides, and a lot of newer 4 speed automatics. I even did a trans out of a Front End Loader. That was one big chunk of cast iron. Pretty basic though. Mike

    67 Coronet rear shackles

    OEM shackles were welded in bolts with rubbers sandwiched between the loose vertical link. No bushings. Far superior to loose bolt designs. Mike

    Why not go with aluminum for the weight loss and power gain? What would your dad recommend? Mike

    Torqueflite selector rod differences?

    Open side up, flat washer, then clip. If this does not fix your leak, the VB will have to be removed to polish the throttle pressure shaft. Mike
