Neither... I prefer Pertronix. Replaces the points with a simple magnetic trigger. Basically bulletproof. Too hard to find quality condensers and points, plus there is the periodic wear, plus corrosion gets a vote.

Does anyone have a reputable speedo repair shop to reccommend in the greater nashville, clarksville TN area? My local speedo shop here in town won't touch it.

The faces/numerals are actually perfect! Needles are faded but thats it. Everything is dusty and in need of a good cleaning.

Speedo gear in the trans, and the cable are new. New cable helped a bit with the bouncing, but its still there. Not terrible, its only below 5mph or so. What would symptoms of a faulty regulator be? My ammeter is bypassed, so i suppose temp and gas gauges are the only thing it runs anymore.

I have the cluster out of my '67 Satellite, having the bezel re-chromed and now is the time to do some troubleshooting. My temp gauge doesn't work, and fuel gauge only reads 1/2 when full. Aftermarket sending unit possibly the culprit. Now that I have the cannon plugs unplugged from the back of...

Back from the grave. So, an update I could never get a HEI to work. Put on a first GEN pertronix and it works beautifully. I have been thinking a lot about this lately, trying to determine why HEI would start and idle so beautifully but not rev. Now I am wondering, could it be my old style (2nd...

For future reference for anyone who buys them, If you have an integrated light/engine wiring harness like mine you will need to pop the connections out of the bulkhead connectors and install them into the bulkhead connectors in a new harness.

I finally broke down and bought a new Herb's mopar engine wiring harness for my '67 satellite with points. Other than fishing for reviews, on quality of the wiring and connectors, have a dumb question. Does it come with the harness that connects the headlights also? I don't see how it wouldn't...

If anyone is interested in following this, I took the problem over to FABO where the HEI experts live. https://www.forabodiesonly.com/mopar/threads/hei-conversion-troubleshooting.440610/#post-1972591930

The ignition is cutting out at higher revs. The static timing is not the issue. Yes, I have advanced it to 15, it does not make a difference.

Well crap. Been cruising FABO and it looks like i may have made a serious mistake buying this distributor. Apparently the "340 timing curve" it is advertised as having is not even close. I should have done my homework, I really don't know much about timing and trusted the ad...

I have advanced it all the way to like 20+, same issue. I don’t think it has anything to do with timing.

So I ran through a bunch of troubleshooting steps and still have no clue what the hell is wrong. Torque checked the manifold again, fired the car up and warmed up the engine. Checked for vacuum/intake leaks. Set timing to 10 btdc. The weird thing is that the timing is erratic-the mark bounces...

Damn that's a smart way of doing it. That's the next check on my list. As for fuel starvation, that seems unlikely, its a new pump and everything ran great before I took it apart. I'm thinking I can rule that out by revv'ing it up till it runs crappy, shut the car off immediately and then pop...

Don’t have any carb cleaner, but i did check tq on intake bolts and carb studs, all was good. Ran car in pitch dark, revved up to where it ran crappy, no arcing or anything. Drove around the block. Feels strong at cruising speeds. Stomp on the pedal, anything over 1/2 throttle and it stumbles...

Nope, you got me there. I really don't want to hit my fresh paint with carb cleaner. But you are right, I should rule that out after putting a new manifold on. I was a little worried about how thick the cork end gaskets are, causing potential sealing issues.

So, bottom line up front I just did a lot of work to my 360 and now it has a bad stumble/backfire/hesitation when I rev it up past cruise throttle positions. I am trying to figure out if it is a carb setting, or ignition problem. Car starts and idles beautifully, easy hot start after it has been...

It will work, just overheat the coil and burn it out prematurely.

I have been going over the wiring diagram trying to understand the way the ballast resistor is wired. I want to cut the wires back as far as possible to splice together the connection, preferably hiding it inside the harness with heat shrink over so it looks like it was never there. Here's what...

Check this out, looks very promising. Full HEI kit. As far as I can find on FABO and FBBO, no one has tried one yet. Should I be the guinea pig? https://www.ebay.com/itm/MOPAR-273-318-340-360-RED-SMALL-Cap-HEI-Distributor-60K-COIL-8mm-Plug-Wires/232815946836
