Yeah, I figured I'd need it to be on in both the on and start positions. The instructions specifically state that I needed to bypass the ballast resistor, so I removed the harness for the old electronic ignition system and I removed the ballast resistor. I didn't check to see which wire provided...
I just removed the Mopar performance electronic ignition system in favor of an MSD E-curve distributor on my 72 318 demon and I've ran in to an issue with finding the proper 12v wire to power the coil. I feel a bit silly in having to ask this question, but what I thought was the proper wire...
I've got the mopar performance timing tape that goes to 60 degrees before and after TDC. I gather that a dial back timing light accomplishes the same thing?
In the likely event that I have to limit the mechanical advance on my distributor, do you know how to do that?
Thanks for all the help guys. I ended up driving it to the local burger drive up joint the way it was and it ran pretty well. This weekend, I'll spend some time on the timing to get it just right. As it sits, it likes about 18 degrees initial and I may go ahead and turn it up to 20, but if...
Thanks for the insight. So, if I were to decide that the maximum initial+mechanical timing made the best power at 30* where would I start with adding in vacuum advance for street driving? Should I just, through trial and error, figure out what works best? Do you recommend a good starting point...
Recently I overhauled my 318 and in the process installed the 85-91 cast #302 heads, a comp cams H268 http://www.compcams.com/Company/CC/cam-specs/Details.aspx?csid=619&sb=0, an Edelbrock performer intake, and an Edelbrock 500 cfm carb part number 1404. I've calculated the compression ratio to...
I have the factory style mechanical fuel pump with no regulator. From what i can tell, it's not over filling the fuel bowls or bypassing the needle/seat valve. I have converted it from the factory ignition to the mopar performance electronic ignition.
