More Electrical Help ...
And now an annoying story from the old days.............Stationed at NAS Miramar 70-74. Before I bought the '70 I had a 69 383 RR 4 speed. At some point the thing started to get harder to start. It seemed to run OK, amazingly. This was all factory, so breaker point distributor.
A rare but mandatory full dress inspection happened. I was going to give a ride to 3 other guys over to inspection, AND THE DAMNED THING WOULD NOT START. We had to hoof it, and all of use were on the borderline "late." I think one guy got "written up." Yup Bad coil. Picked the opportune time to die, but it had been coming for a week or two.
This 63 327 SS I bought up here in N Idaho on leave, and drove to San Diego in May '70 I later traded it and some cash for the 69. Some guy had bought his teen son the 69 and the kid "had not done well" So the Dad was looking for something "slower". I have no photos of the 69
"Working" at our RADAR shop. It was way down the field about the 6000 ft mark away from "everybody." At the left, one of your service trucks, then a "shaker" Cuda I remember not his name. He was a friend of another guy. The the Olds? Poncho? of Nelson, worked with me and to right of that my black 64 Dodge 426. To right of that is friend's 68RR and to right of it is my Limelight 70 440-6. Boy I wish I still had it.
None of this is there anymore, the jarheads have poured concrete over it for more choppers LOL
