Yes I took a look at a few different vendors but they didnt seem to have staff that could answer any questions. Another thought I just had was ...why could I not eliminate the bulkhead connector completely and just hook up wires directly one by one?

Update, Had a mechanic spend hours on the existing electrical and stll having issues. I'm looking at having them completely redo all wires. Is there a kit to do so? And maybe one that eliminates that #$#$$#ing bulkhead connector? I'm going crazy as I should be driving (but can't ) the car as...

Thanks yes. We MacGuyvered a couple of the wires going into the bulkhead as I didn't have the proper ends. Just used male tab type leads and jammed them in. Two in the middle top row of the bulkhead connector in particular.

Hi all, It has been a long time since I've posted but recently have been having an extremely frustrating issue. Long story long :) Late last Summer I had a wee wirefire which was directly my fault. My ballast resistor had not been mounted on the firewall since I bought the car years before. I...

I guess that's a possibility too as temps are much lower now near Winter.(0-10F) I run 10-30 in it.

Here's a few more pix shot lately. The car draws lots of attention at local shows.

Hi Guys, Just realized my 273 does not have a breather or PCV valve on either valve cover. I know, I know "you just noticed after 2 months?" What the hell? Should they not have a least a breather on one cover?

Hi Folks, Got under my car for first time and noticed the BH dust cover missing. Anyone have one for sale? I found them online for about $200 CA but I'm hoping to get a used one for less :) Thanks! (1965 Valiant, 273 Commando, a833 4 speed)

Hi Guys, 65 Valiant 273 engine, electronic ignition Had an issue with ballast blowing a few days ago. Replaced it and no change, noticed crack on top of coil and thought aha that's it. Nope, replaced coil no change. Next changed the ICM and that fixed it. The odd thing is all of a sudden it...
