Yet another great pro tip. Thank you very much!

GTX, funny enough, I did pick up that set and it didn't fit the limiter plate in this distributor. I probably should have said that beforehand. Thanks for looking it up for me, though. I do appreciate that! Kid, that's getting printed out. Thank you very much.

Awesome. But not awesome at the same time. Summit has it listed as "no longer available". https://www.summitracing.com/parts/MAA-29015 The eBay hunt begins. I think it's all trial and error without specialty equipment anyway. Last time I relied on an FBO limiting plate to get me in the...

I'm currently running a Mallory 25 series dual point distributor. The car runs great with it, and it's been rock solid since scoring it from Carlisle this past summer. I'm just looking for some general pointers with setting mechanical timing from folks who are familiar with this platform. It...

This whole thing started off life as an SE premium with a 318 and and automatic. By the time it even got in my dads hands it had a 383 and 4 speed stuffed in it and was painted orange. I'm more worried about keeping it alive and not burning to the ground haha. Only question I really have with...

Yeah that is on the list. I just am back and forth with it because of the fact that I'm not sure which supplier to go through. I've tried checking out some local guys who have a handle on it buuuut they're all chevy guys so I've been sort of just plugging away with what I've got until I settle...

Alright guys, I got it. I wound up running with the key instead of the toggle switch. I did a few things so it's hard to pinpoint what the real trouble was. The two major issues i think that contributed were wiring. Under the dash, my ignition 1 wire shorted really bad. I mean the whole wire...

Ok, thank you very much!

Hey guys, dealing with some issues under the dash. Real Quick question. On a 1969 B body, should the brown ignition 2 wire have power with the key in the on position? Blue wire with white tracer, ignition 1, fried up on me and I'm worried it may have fried my ignition switch. Thanks for any feed...

The short was real bad too. Im wondering if i didnt fry my ignition switch.

Also to clarify there is power to the blue wire!

Alright, so now that the holiday season is over I'm back to this. I decided to try going through the key rather than a toggle switch for my ignition. Under the dash I found a few shorts which seemed to make things work a bit better. I have the blue and brown wire feeding the small red wire to...

Yeah ive been thinking about that being a possibility. I just have to muster up the courage to face the cold. Car should be headed to a garage for me to continue working on it in the next week or so too.

Should I get a different distributor? By the way if you guys are getting snow please be safe! Roads are terrible here in NEPA.

Hey guys! Sorry i picked up a side job digging trenches for new signs at McDonald's. It's been awesome. Especially today when we got blasted with snow. I usually work from home so now I'm Dodge deprived. Here's what the harness on my distributor looks like though. They did give me that lead but...

Got it. Tomorrow is a new day. Thank you very much everyone for your input btw. So much better than going nuts alone haha. Does anyone make an adapter for the msd to magnetic pickup though? I'm wondering if it would help.

So what does this tell us??

Not while cranking

Alright, I took all of the wiring off and reinstalled it all. I figured I'd take the day to start from scratch. I actually did run it from a toggle switch. I picked up the MSD Blaster 2 and figured I might as well start from scratch in case during my whole conundrum I managed to disconnect or...

Yeah, I tried the method you've suggested and I still got nothing. So what I did was hooked up my old ignition with the chrome box and Accel 8140 coil and still nothing. I was always able to get the coil to spark through MSD's trouble shooting method. because of this, I figured the coil was...
