    So… in 2025, what’s the best electronic ignition conversion?

    The Blaster SS coil IS an E core coil. # 8207. Have one on a car that runs 119 mph in the 1/4, MSD # 83647 HEI module, Iridium plugs, 0.070" plug gap.

    Who has used a 440 crank in a 383 block?

    In Oz, cars converted to RHD was a nightmare fitting headers to the right bank. Much swearing going on....

    383 engine noise cylinder 5

    Exh leaks do not knock, they tick. Could be the rod brg, cracked piston. A problem with the piston pin is usually a double tap noise. Either way, I would strip it because it ain't gonna fix itself...& much worse damage could ensue if left...

    New Carter fuel pump has a slight ticking at idle.

    I suspect a small gap between the p'rod pump arm is causing the noise. Carter/Edel carbs will quite easily tolerate 10psi of fuel pressure, but the float level must be reset....because fuel pressure changes the fuel level. The 426 Max Wedge fuel pump was rated at 6-8 psi & the Carter AFB carbs...

    Points or no points? That is the question.

    Pert has a HEI style module that provides multiple sparks to 7000 rpm. No other company has this. Those who believe in Pertronix should ask them: is it an inductive system, CD system...or something 'else' ...

    Progress. Updates. And questions.

    Why not leave the eccentric in place? It causes no harm & provides the correct dimension for the retaining bolt. If the car is sold, the new owner can use a mech pump if desired.

    Agree. What has changed? Richer mixture?

    Coil connection on a 340

    And the carb choke wire should not come from the ign [ coil cct ].

    195 Thermostat

    180 is a good compromise. Stats take 20-30* to fuluy open. So a 195 stat may not be providing max coolant flow until 225*.

    Lower pic in post #43. Wires are soldered, not crimped. Good! But pick up terminals [ right side ] look to be almost touching. Not good!

    Cooling Issue?

    Note that the stat temp rating is the opening temp. A 180 stat may not be fully open until 200-210*.

    Steering not self correcting

    Are there aftermarket upper control arms available for Mopars that give more castor? That is what is needed. A P/S box that is working properly moves the wheels after INPUT from the driver [ steering wheel ]. It will stay in that position until it gets another input from the driver. The only way...

    Vapor-Locking... the bane of my existence.

    You do not need a return line, if you have the right pump......because when they shut off, the fuel drains back to the tank. There is no pressure build up like mech pumps have. A Carter #4594 elec pump will solve your problem, on it's own, NOT with a mech pump in series.

    I know when I helped a mate install the Pert module, we didn't even make it to the main road before it failed....
