Appreciate your help. I read through the upgrade and will be using this as a template before driving the car. As I stated, I certainly do not want a fire. Is there a specific length to use for the fusable link? Thanks again.

Thanks for that explanation. When I looked at my fusable link, it seemed weak. As I could bend it into a 90* angle or more and it would just bounce back as if there were no wire inside at all. When I stripped it, there were around ten very small dis colored wires, that totaled the size of a...

Thanks. I certainly do not want a fire. I'll try to source a new fusable link for protection. Will a fifty year old fusable link deteriorate over time?

Been a while. Quick update. With Pertronics in. I deleted the fusable link, from the 12v starter selonoid to the bulkhead connector, and also bypassed the bulkhead connector for that circuit with a soldered direct connection. First time the engine run without a misfire in forever. I think this...

Good one! You guy's are a riot. 14.1

Good one, thanks for the laugh. 68' Newport 2dr fast top. Not much of a looker, but raises a few eyebrows..

Wanted to share what you all been helping with. My 68'. Thanks again for your support.

I will this week end when I get some time. :)

Agreed, but I'm lost for ideas. Also it doesn't fry the Pertronics. WTF. :mad:

Not sure. Same as last time. Fired up, sounded strong, then died after a minute. I am going to try an HEI system, as I am all out of ideas and patience with this set up.

Fried another one. :)

OK thanks. I did the amp meter(dummy light) bypass as suggested in the C body forum,(basically just removing the two wires from the meter and making them a connection) as they are said to be a weak link and a fire hazard. Easy enough to put back if needed. I do not have any other mods. No fans...
