A friend of mine had a 1966 Coronet 500 with 383/4-speed. It had a factory cast iron dual point distributor in it. I thought that 4-speed cars got them, while automatics got the aluminum single point piece.

Try the chrome box on it.

Could be as simple as a blown fuse, if two wires shorted out.

The old mechanical VR's had a fusible link inside. This likely burned out, saving some of your wiring. This can likely be repaired by soldering a piece of fusible wire in. Pretty good indication of a wiring problem somewhere.

It's now RJ-11-YC, RJ-14-YC. R = resistor; C = copper core

I have run mine off the 12V. side of the ballast resistor for years with no problems.

Classic Industries sells a square one that fits in the clock hole of 1966-1967 Coronet.

The Run side of your ballast resistor. Key-on 12V. It might be good to wire in a 20 A fuse to that circuit.

If you have to replace timing chain, use a double roller one from a reputable supplier. They do not stretch as much as factory one, keeping your engine in proper tune. Stretched timing chain is most common cause of fluctuating timing. It is possible that someone has installed centrifugal weight...

Do you have the right sender on your engine? Oil light in the dash uses the short sender. An actual gauge in the dash uses the tall sender. Your GTX should have the short one.

You might have a broken advance weight spring, or too soft a set of springs in the distributor. Chrysler designed these engines with ported vacuum to the distributor advance, so that is what I use. I don't worry too much about initial advance setting. I plug the vacuum advance, so it is not in...

Yikes! I think that same guy did my house!

Clock is constant 12 V. Usually taps into hot side of ammeter.

So, turn signal switch.

It might have worn a bare spot in wiring where lever comes out of steering column. Especially if your car has cruise control on turn signal lever.

Check the red and black wires to the ammeter.

Sourced from terminal on amp gauge with red wire on it. Has to be key-off 12V. power. Another place is back of cigarette lighter.

That's it. I think they have a more expensive version, where the red lettering is raised, like the embossed batteries.

Weskcar has a website, showing various styles of kits. Usually around $25.00 for caps and decals. Ships from France. I have usually had them in about 10 days. I have ordered these kits for friends also, and have always been satisfied with appearance and delivery.

Walmart group 27 battery with Weskcar caps and decals. Caps just push in and fit nicely.
