    European A-body owners: where are you?

    A photo for you of my 4-door 1975 Plymouth Valiant. I've had looks from Ferrari owners on the A1 in Switzerland.

    I've been wondering what you've been up to. I still look forward to following the progress of your build.

    I did a quick check and the 2006 Dodge Charger is nearly 3 inches wider than the Duster. This suggests you will have to cut the roof to make it narrower, as well as the front and rear windscreens. The amount of work may be reduced if you keep the front half of the Duster roof and add the rear...

    Thank you for the explanation. You have all contingencies covered, it seems. Bravo !

    Ignition upgrade to full coil system

    Dear Bill, the only concern that I had about the MegaJolt system you recommend is that it does not have an engine knock sensor. I'm less concerned about the spark than I am about the ignition curve, in order to avoid detonation. But I see another virtue in your suggestion ; if it works then...

    Cool ! I'll be watching this space. Btw, about the firewall ; did you cut out the original piece and weld in flat steel, and what are your plans for heating, ventilation and air-conditioning ? Vintage Air ? I'm happy with my Vintage Air system. The front seats may work, but remember the...

    Ignition upgrade to full coil system

    Frankly, yes. My overall approach comes, in part, from need ; I don't have access to a lot of the resources that are available to the average builder in America. There are breaker's yards in Europe, but very little American metal from which to scavenge parts I read about in this forum. So...

    Ignition upgrade to full coil system

    Gentlemen, my research has brought me to this link. http://www.electromotive-inc.com/product/total-engine-control/ The vendor suggests the TEC gt ECU model. Does anyone have any experience with this company and their products ? Apparently, the ECU can manage fuel injection systems as well...

    Coil-overs ! Definitely coil-overs ! I favour products from "Control Freak Suspensions" because their K-frame replacement is more robust, but there are competitors out there with good products as well. The ride and handling are superb ; one just has to make a wise selection with the spring...

    For your helpful and thoughtful replies. I will study and test the suggestions and revert with the results. Apologies for my poor English - it's not my mother tongue and differences in technical terminology in UK and American English can confuse me sometimes.

    Ignition upgrade to full coil system

    I'm curious to know if anyone has done an ignition upgrade to a modern, full-coil programmable system, perhaps from a Mopar engine of similar capacity as a slant-6 ? The engine of my car is highly modified and I still get pre-ignition (detonation, pinking) even with 100 octane (Shell V-Power...
