I have read others on here preferring the chrome box too.....just plug and go, no changes to be made to timing or anything? Are the new chrome boxes ok or do they have a high failure rate like the new orange boxes? Thx!

I saw this post while reading up on ignition systems here.......pretty slick, I'll hang onto my old box!

Thanks for the u tube video, love the female computer voice, that could sell anything, LOL! I looked around the net for info on it but did not find that. I thought I read in the FABO thread you posted the link to, that it had an adjustable advance, maybe I'm reading things wrong, pretty much a...

Looking at my 360's factory electronic ignition distributor I can see the bushings are worn and the reluctor has some side to side movement. Is the Accel 59301 a good replacement? Or should I stick with stock? What would the pros and conns be? This Accel unit seems to be a drop in replacement...

In my trade we use uninsulated butt connectors for splicing along with good quality shrink tubing that has the sticky sealant which is activated while heating the tubing. No issues of corrosion or bad connection, even many of our OEM replacement sensors and switches have uninsulated butt...

So I put in the new orange module today, car fired up and idled in the driveway for 1/2hr without quitting, took it for a drive between rain drops.....so far no quitting or dead ignition. Seems like the module was the gremlin...won't trust the car until I get out for a few short rides. Everyone...

Obviously a dead short you had there to take out the fuse link, but the spades in your bulkhead/firewall connector look like mine did, my plug started burning up at the fuselink/battery and at the alternator pin....the female spades in the firewall side open up and get loose. This may not be of...

Thanks for all the info guys, not sure it's the module as you guys have mentioned but I have a new module to try, didn't break the bank so it's worth a try.....all else seems good other than the play at the distributor shaft & reluctor. Certainly could have been my firewall connector but that's...

This is the other diagram I saw here on FABO....it's the only one that specified a resistance reading on the ignition coil......so much good info on this site! Does anyone have a HEI setup running a higher resistance coil than the .32 ohm ? I would like to keep the HEI for roadside emergencies...

Thanks so much 67Dart273 for the tip where to get the service manuals I will check that out. Have no plans of going without ballast....have had local friends tell me otherwise, as for the GM HEI I did just temporary wire it in and used this exact diagram.....but my bad did not just check for...

Now for my questions....sorry for the long story above...just wanted to give you guys a picture of where things are at......is it possible my test with the HEI went sideways because of the higher resistance coil I used.....it was a Petronix oil filled 1.5 ohm....same that has been on this car...

Hi, have not been on site for awhile....poor Valiant has taken the backseat for awhile, just lookin pretty in the garage with electrical gremlins it has a 360 with orange module electronic ignition. Started having quiting issues with no spark, very random.....first thing I checked stopped me...

Nice Valiant, good luck with the weather!!

Haven't been on FABO for ages!Nice to see more Canadian Valiants on here, thats a keeper with the 4spd, love the black, looks mean!! Did any of the Cdn Vals come with 4spds?? My convertible has had a 4spd dropped into it, lots of fun to drive!!

Those are gross, Dodge and Ford kicked Chevys *** in the retro muscle designs! These look like over stuffed Cavaliers or Cobalts!!

Wow !! Wish my basement looked as nice!! Thats garage/shop is a beauty, nice work!:cheers:

So sorry to see your little one is ill. Best wishes to her for a speedy recovery, hope shes back home with her family soon. Take care.

I like your first one, just with one change, make the last letter a u instead of an e....dartnbyu!! How about "snowdart"......sorry that was a cheap west coast joke !! Post pics if you get a set and show them off....gotta love early A's.

Ha, that sheads a lot of light on the situation, sounds like she should keep her job (with compensation and appology) and this manager should find a new job, maybe serving donuts and caffine to the local cops at the Dunkin Donuts!!!

Sorry to read of your wifes misfortune. Hope her meeting on Monday goes well for her, but at the same time she's got to wonder if people who would fire a long term loyal employee such as herself on the word of a couple of douche bag customers are really worth working for. Sounds like it she...

Jeez, I just realized I haven't been on here in a while, since last year (dec 28/08), been busy with other stuff. Here I pop in for a look just to see whats been going on, well just in time to see MeMikes broken 10,000 posts. Some things never change and shouldn't! Congrats there Bud, glad to...

Happy B day from the mainland!! Hows the 50 club anyhow? I still have 3 yrs to go! Enjoy that nice Island weather!!!

Another cool Memike moment, thanks for sharing there Mike, thats what Christmas is all about! Nice to see the young folk showing there appreciation for their Pops!! Enjoy!!!

Thats not a bad buy it now price, usually bin prices are crazy high, this doesn't look bad at all.

Well I guess I voted in the minority, (didn't have to ask what you're smokin I think we all know:happy10:) but "leave it alone" yep that's the one. You made a good choice there, your car looks to bad-*** just the way it is....it's kinda of an icon of how bad an early A can be!! Those are kind of...

Its a rough go to loose anyone in your family, a parents passing is always tough. Sorry for your familys loss. Time will make things better, keep your Mom close and take care.

Very cool pic there. I've never seen Chip Foose before, I had imagined him being older than that! Awesome garage pic:happy10:

We picked this up tonight, but can't watch it till Christmas morning(its a secret, kids giving to me LOL). Thanks for the review, sounds like its the next best thing to being there!! If anyone goes to get it becarefull of the packaging, the copy we first picked up turned out to be a blue ray...

Glad to hear the good news! A friend of mine through work, his wife had a stroke and she had the same conversion done on her SUV and is back to driving no problem. Good luck with your testing there Marvin, way to go:cheers:

Hey would that be the hardtop daves66valiant bought off another member here?
