    Progression Ignition Distributor

    Well I bit the bullet and ordered one for my 383 stroked to 496. I got tired of pulling the electronic distributor and completely disassembling it, changing springs etc trying to get the curve right. Not posting this to get advice on "how" I should set up a mechanical advance. This is so I can...

My electric setup is, serpentine pulley w '95 Durango 140 amp alternator. 4 ga wire to starter relay, factory positive cable from relay to battery. Started and everything worked great, let it run for about 15 minutes to make...

    Electric fans to alternator

    I'm going to try another set of fans on my '67 Coronet, 496. I'm in Fort Mohave AZ where our summers are regularly over 115 n often see 125. These new fans pull 40 amps at start each and then run at about 22 amps. I've got a serpentine pulley setup w a 140 amp alternator. My question is, should...

    Relay holder???

    On my '67 Coronet, I just received a new dual e-fan shroud setup to try on my 496. I have 3 relays for it, 2-70 amp, 1 for each fan, and 1 from the a/c to trigger both when the a/c is on. I have one 50 amp for my fuel pump, and 2 30 amp for my headlights. I am trying to find an modern OEM relay...

    Ported vs manifold vacuum advance solved!!!

    So every always wants to get into the debate of ported vs manifold vacuum advance. I talked at length w the owner of 4 Seconds Flat. He made total sense. The ported is for cars that had some sort of computer control/smog control. Manifold is for those that do not. It is a lot to go into, but...

    Parking brake lights???

    1967 Coronet 440 4dr auto. Other than a fuse tap for fuel injection and stereo, had gauge cluster completely rebuilt, under dash wiring is unmolested. I apply parking brake and light is solid then starts to flash. Also rear "brake" lights come on. Any ideas where to start? Want to use parking...

    Reverse lights

    I'm going through my wiring while my engine is out so it's easy to access everything and noticed that my reverse lights do not come on. I ran down the wiring on a color coded chart and it shows purple wire to reverse lights. I checked and they are there. There is suppose to be a purple wire...

    Ammeter bypass

    I found the ammeter bypass done by MAD Electrical. Took out instrument cluster. Disconnected dash vent hose and removed vent. Removed radio. There is no way I can get my hand back there with wire cutters, crimpers, soldering gun, etc.... not from the top and definitely not from the bottom. Does...

    Wiper Relay???

    So, I have seen upgrades for headlights going through a relay so the power doesn't go through the switch and lights are brighter. Upgraded alternators, regulators, ammeter bypass, etc.... Should the wipers go through a relay also? If so, has it been done? Did a search and found nothing. Thanks...

    Voltage regulator delete

    I did a search and could not find anything. Lots of Amp meter delete but not voltage regulator delete. I am installing a serpentine set up on '67 Coronet with 383. It uses a late 90's early 2000 Dakota alternator. If I am not mistaken, this alternator is internally regulated. Does any one know...
