1974 Brain Box saves the day.

Was heading out to a local car gathering a couple weeks ago, and a no start on my '76 Truck.

Turns out the 1 year old replacement brain box failed.

I had a well used 1974 5 pin brain box from my '74 Dart that I had replaced because all the goo on the back had melted out from the hot sun in Florida.

Swapped in the 46 year old rough looking brain box and I was good to go. Made it to the gathering right on time. Worked no problem.

Used parts are proven parts, thanks
Ma Mopar !

Got another new one in now, will see how long that one lasts.

Older is better....

My son had issues withb his '28 Model A.... Installed new Chicom ignition parts and it ran worse.

I called my 90 year old buddy Marley who knows T and A' s inside out. He brought over some 50 year old ignition parts and the truck ran flawlessly....lesson learned.
