    Ignition switch power on "run and start"

    Using the complete Holley setup. Hyperspark, coil, distributor and ignition box. Can I just twist IGN 1 and IGN 2 together? A relay would be in an "OR" configuration, right? We really appreciate the help. This has been a big project over a couple years. I think we're one wire from getting it...

    Ignition switch power on "run and start"

    Hey! We need 12v power on "on" and have it continue on "start". A constant 12v through the start cycle. I can't see how we get both out of the ignition switch. We're setting up a Holley Sniper EFI on a 408 stroker in our '73 Duster. Checked the FSM, but am not seeing it if it's there...

    Not the first dumb mover on this build and definitely not the last! Thanks everybody (he says slightly embarrassed).

    Water in Transmission...

    Yup. Looking at it now makes sense. But it did come from Griffin with the petcock on the other side..... Still our error. Water didn't come out of the dipstick, we pulled the entire dipstick tube out of the trans and water/fluid came out of the hole. Engine never spun. We poured a bunch of...

    Operator error is a constant around our shop... There is a petcock on the other side of the trans that I assumed was the drain. There are two 5/16 nipples side by side on the side where the trans cooler lines come out of the trans. That's what we used.

    Appreciate all the help . It is what it is, have to move forward and get this beast on the road. Ordered it as AT directly from Griffin and these bungs look pretty AT to me...

    Sounds like we need to get it running ASAP and keep feeding AT fluid through it.

    I can't believe that Griffin didn't pressure test this. Water poured in the top of the radiator doesn't even slow down on its way out of the AT cooler fittings.

    Just distilled water, no anti freeze. We were hoping to get it started today before this debacle.

    Thanks. Dumping the fluid/water out of the pan. What about the rest of the internals? Anything to do about that?

    We have a 727 in our 1973 Duster. Got a Griffin radiator with an AT cooler connected to the 727. We don't have fuel or spark set up yet, but bumped (not even a full revolution) a few times as we got the starter, etc. hooked up. We were then working on the trans dipstick and when we pulled it...

    hood struts

    Perfect! Thanks for the advice, much appreciated.

    hood struts

    Did they come with mounting brackets? I've been looking and couldn't find a "kit" with all the components. I'm just trying to use it on my Duster trunk so should be much less of a job. Any thoughts?
