As with an earlier post.. I found these today going through old family photos and thought I would share....
Here is the story...
In late 1965 I bought a Dealer Demo. It was a 1965 Dart 270 4 Door Sedan. I bought it because it was equipped with the Charger 273 4bbl engine.
It was a quick fun...
I am going thru old family photos today and found this Rare photo of me and my Brand New Dart.....

Made a little more progress today.

Making a "Home-Brewed" Cam Position Sensor/Distributor hold down clamp.
This started out as a piece of 1/4" x 1 1/2" x 2 1/2" Aluminum angle.

I started this project yesterday 10/10/2025.
I made 2 flat brackets and 2 studs to mount onto the passenger side of the oil pan.
These 2 brackets will serve as supports and a place to secure the wiring harness I just made. The harness has connections to the factory temperature sensor, EFI...
I love sharing what I do. More for the reason you just stated "that my input would help someone". I am not in any way tiring to show off or brag, etc. Just tiring to help and pass on ideas and different ways of getting something done.
That is the Whole idea behind this and many other forums...
Del,
Thanks for your input and reminder as to which end to connect to ground. I worked as a Business / Data technician at GTE/Verizon for almost 40 years, so I know a little about noise on circuits.
As far as the HAM Radio, I got my 1st Novice ticket in 1976. WN9RLY... I have hearing problems...
