Yeah I took the photos when I took off all the wire loom, it doesn't normally look like that lol. Gotta make it messy to make it clean. I'll take another photo when I'm done so everyone can judge how I did haha. Love the look on your car!

Ok figured it out, I had a wire under the dash that came unplugged from a crimp, doh! Car runs again. Now with the MSD ballast installed (with some jumpers) I’m getting 6.5v at the coil while running. I’m not sure if it’s because I just jumped the 4pin plugs to a 2 pin style that killing the...

Hello all again, Finished cutting all the plugs that went to nothing out, now the car will crank but only try and start when the key is released. Will try and trace what I cut out. Also a thing that’s always been with this car is sometimes when you turn the dash lights on, it will activate the...

lol don't worry I'm a guy, and hopefully we've got plenty of time before the snow starts flying

Well unfortunately I have to wait on some parts to show up, one of the wires that went into the bulkhead broke so I have to order more of the Packard 56 connectors and re-pin it. That being said once the car is back up and running I will send you a DM and I can come on by with the car. I don't...

Ah neat, I guess I'll leave it on, thanks! Had good progress on the wiring, removed about a dozen wires that were for old plugs that weren't used anymore. Next step is to repair one terminal on the bulkhead connector that had a loose wire which broke off when I unplugged the harness and to...

I will look into the HEI conversion, seems pretty nice and simple. As for now I’m eliminating and simplifying the wiring, anyone know what this would be for? It was on the car with the factory setup so I brought it over when I swapped engines. I can’t find anything in the factory wiring...

- wiped lobes lifters - I installed these heads at the beginning of the year so I was able to inspect the cam, no wiped lobes at all and lifters are in good condition - PCV not working because of the low vac, it becomes a giant vacuum leak - I have always been suspect of the PCV, I just haven't...

Sweet, thank you! I've read so much conflicting information so I wasn't sure. I'm still running the factory style quad pin ballast, I will have to find the MSD supplied 2 pin ballast in my parents garage to install and convert to that. I will also be converting the bulkhead connectors to...

I guess the wording of that is what's confusing me, Forgive my ignorance but my car doesn't have points ignition? it is stock style, but electronic ignition. I thought points and electronic ignition were a very different setup. Or are they just saying any "stock" ignition system requires the...

ok update, I took another look at the wiring, looks like I had spliced a wire going into the ballast resister to my aftermarket radio (did this almost 10 years ago), so I took that wire out as well as bypassed the resister again. with that now my coil has 9v measuring from positive on the coil...

When I had the gauge cluster apart I accidently bent the needle about one line towards the charging side, but I'm not a fan of it either. I'm sure its because when its running the battery is at 15.5-15.7v, but I've changed the voltage regulator so I'm gonna have to do a deeper dive into why its...

I'm measuring from the positive on the coil to the negative to the coil. I haven't done to a different ground (chassis or engine) I have an understanding on chasing voltage drop. I'll check that this weekend. Carb is so far around 12afr at idle and cruising will be about 13-14 afr. the carb...

Hello all, I've been trying to troubleshoot a fairly new issue with my valiant (past couple weeks) First off the car 1975 Plymouth valiant brougham Engine - Swapped 360, stock bottom end (stock flat top pistons), comp XE268h cam, Speedmaster aluminum heads and high rise dual plane intake...

Sorry for the late reply, Yep I've got a stock 318 converter with the B&M 10239 flexplate (after the balancing weights I welded on last year blew off and put a hole in the transmission case) Yeah the tires on the car are gonna change at some point, just some cheapys to replace the who knows...
