well the car hasn't had a problem starting again , obviously!! Now that I want it to. But I have a better idea of what to look for now when if/ when it does it again .

@zombezoo did you go for a set of the 440 source stealth heads ? Did you get the assembled heads with their valves / springs/ retainers ?

Thanks for the help guys I was out in the garage tonight. Checked wire going down to the NSS . It was tight but I saw where it had touched the header and melted a bit. I cut back the wire and put on a new ring terminal just incase there was some sort of damage To the wire. I also dug out...

Basically I should be able to disconnect the solenoid connection, leave everything else hooked up . When turn the key I should be able to hear an audible click of the relay , Just like testing generic 4 prong relay .

It could be the NSS as everyone is suggesting I'll crawl under it make sure the connection is good. How would I test the starter relay, I'm sure there is away to bench test one?

With one problem solved ( overcharging ) a new problem arises. I am having an intermittent Starting problem. I will hop in the car turn the key and nothing , absolutely nothing not even a click. Lights are on gauges working. I found that if I wiggled the wires running down to the starter...

Check the center / top pin of the VR. Find out which side of the ballast that wire is connected to. Just do a continuity check with a multimeter you don't have to un wrap everything. If it's connected to the coil side / then it's sensing the reduced voltage after it goes threw the ballast. And...

Got the new adjustable regulator. I had taken the battery out of the car to make sure it was fully charged, while I was waiting for the new regulator to show up. THere was some crud around the positive battery termainal that I couldn't see untill I removed the cable.. I cleaned it all up as...

How did you choose to power your module and coil? Did you add a relay for the power feed ?

I'm waiting for the new adjustable VR to come in . The problem is explained perfectly in video earlier in the thread

I've gone a head and ordered an adjustable regulator ... take a few weeks ro get here

Didn't know you had this video . It basically explains what I was thinking. Thank you. So since I do have a very small voltage drop in my own system ( .6 - .5v ) the fact that my VR wants to hold 14.4 means even the Littlest drop will over charge my battery. If I do the field circuit...

Yes I am running an updated regulator . Had the setup on the car for 10 years . It's possible it has been running this way for a while ? There are no other problems you wouldbt know unless you checked it.

But there will be some.votage drop threw out the system . I don't understand why it's allowing the alternator to produce 15+v . Or why the battery is calling foe 15v.. I missing something here Is it, new regulators are made to regulate a higher voltage for all the new electronics on...

Measuring with a DVOM . I have 2 different ones I can use. I just tested , they both give the same reading within .03v ( tested without the car running ).

This was my thought. I will try it tomorrow. My guess is it will drop the battery to 14.4v and my ignition and other accessories in the 13.8 range . ? ?

I had to fix a loose wire on my Starter today. After getting it fixed up I was checking things over and noticed that my battery is running at 15V @ Idle (15.09 with RPM ) Battery is fully charged. Power at my Alternator stud is identical to battery. Power at my Ignition "run " wire on my...

Thanks for shout out, and yes I am constantly 3D printing something, if it's not some sort of car part I want to fabricate, it's something for my wife or daughter. I have both resin and FDM printers , each has it pros and cons depending what your trying to create! I would be happy to help...

UPADATE: For any that have been flowing this and other threads in this forum about that HEI conversions. I have modified my original design slightly to ensure that the module is kept at an acceptable temperature. Modifications 1. More venting was added to allow for air to completely past...
