I always run a 1.5 ohm and the ballast resistor on the Pertonix modules. I use to design electronics like this for the defense industry. I can come up with no reason adding extra resistance does anything but good things for the life of the module.

As the cam duration goes up you need to crank up the compression or you loose cranking and dynamic compression which is what keeps the lower RPM torque numbers up. With that cam I’m guessing without doing the math it needs another point of compression to really keep any low RPM torque. Cam...

A lot of places sell M&H now. They maybe all going through Year One though.

1966 Valiant. 9”

I live dangerously in that respect…..

Garage cleaning and parts prep for the last of the A100 parts. Built engine cradle to help with install later.

Drivers Clesters door seal in and drying. Remembered I had some foam sheeting. Cut a template out of cardboard and made some flaps for the front edge of the door that these seals are lacking.

Nothing but good things to say about Clesters seals for the A100. Door seals had the correct anchor pins and fit perfectly. They don’t have that flat flap on the front edge though like the Precision ones did but these actually fit. This is just a piece of foam glued on the Precision so I will...

Single Stage Lacquer mixed to match original

Ever have one of those days. One step forward one step back. Worst part is I forgot to put a hole in the roof repair on the RH side to get the RH dome lamp wiring through. Luckily the Quiet Ride panels allow some flexibility where I can run the harness and not see it. All run and tested...

As retired electrical engineer this is the part I have been dreading. I did this for 25 years and have had enough! The heat is on so limiting my time in the garage until the summer rains start and it cools off some. Ordered only #8 screw 90 degree push on fittings and of course the fuel...

We have a '63 Dart /6 and '66 Valiant V8. Where the manual says to put the Dart would be crazy by todays standards. It wants a negative caster! I crank the adjuster all the way to get the upper control arm balljoint to be as far back as possible (max positive caster) then I will back it off...

I would just weld up the plate a bit as you know you don't need much. At the end of the day I personally don't think there will be much noticeable difference in a few degrees of initial timing as long as the all in is right. It will be much better than it was and with lighter springs it will...

Prestolite wipers. Same for A100 and early A Bodies. The only thing that goes bad is the cloth wire wrap disintegrates and shorts out and burns out the switch (or is the pivots are bound up and you keep running the motor and burning it up, never seen that in an Az car since the wipers almost...

Heat shrink tubing is great for restoring cables with failing sleeves. Blasted and lubed the shifter cable then wrapped it in heat shrink tubing to restore the sheathing. All the floor rubber seals for cable, rods and pipes restored and installed. All floor peddles and switches cleaned and...

I won’t get those 6 hours of my life back. Now i need to light the fire under my transmission guy so this shifter has something useful to do.

I have run the factory coil and the ballast resistor on all my cars for years. The higher the resistance the lower the stresses on the Petronix module (to a point).

Doors Done…. Now just need to get a couple Trademan door panels made and snap them in. Next up reassemble the auto shifter and get the hole cut in the dash. Not many chrome parts to install!

That look so much better! Beautiful

Said I was going to do the doors. I lied. Ended up blasting and detailing a lot of interior parts. Epoxied stableized the defroster vents with PC7 epoxy as they get brittle and break on the ends. Now if ONLY there was an OEM harness available I’d be almost done. Some has to come back out to...

The QuietRide insulation kits, headliner, rear wall and side trim pieces are expensive but man does it make it not so tinny inside and it looks so much more sophisticated. Got the glass today so the doors are going together tomorrow.

Not sure he knew what it was either :). There are A100 with short wheel base and A108 vans with a long wheelbase.

That is not right for an OEM early A unfortunately. They lay on their side on top of the RH inner fender.

Would you mind posting a photo of the dryer and maybe the box if you still have it?
