    Alternator charging, need help

    Why not mount it lower then the engine plate ? I recall an old tip for cleaning up the engine bay, they mounted the alt under the car and had the drive shaft turn it. Only downside was it only charged while car was moving.

    Electronic Ignition Recommendations

    Well my Accel advance comes in by 2000 rpms and with my 3.91 gears is most the time at full advance while running but backs right down for easy starting. I get no pinging even up hills-it does have no vacuum advance.

    Electronic Ignition Recommendations

    You can use the MSD boxes and still use the points dist to fire the box. MSD claims the points will last a very long time since there's little current flowing though them and the dwell doesn't matter, the MSD box fires the plugs. The points just need to open and close. I got a nice use Accel...

    changing from points to electronic

    Not only that but with an MSD box they work as good if not better than that magnetic pick up coil that can give false readings. I just had my Accel point dist for a few days, today I really got on it and its just great. Maybe the factory points would have bounce but the 48 oz Accel points are...

    I went from electronic to points and it seems great

    Yeah yeah, backwards once again for me but I do have a MSD 7 box and HVC coil. Well I was never really happy with my Mopar dist. It work yes but the cap seem small and that magnetic pick up wiring can cause problems with false readings if the wire is run along other wires or if you use solid...

    REV Limiter on a 340

    I have a MSD 7al box, my rev limiter seems a bit low-reads like 500rpm less. No biggie but I got some chips in the 5000 to 6000 rpm range and should have got the 6000-7000 set. Was able to find a 6800 chip on e-bay-so I guess thats 6300. Haven't hit it yet. Its called "soft touch" but it...

    MSD Questions

    You need a voltmeter and find which wire or wires are 12 volts when the key is in the run position. The heavy pos & neg should be run straight from the battery. The resistor can go in the trash can. If theres more than 1 wire that is "hot" when the key is in the run position either use it for...

    Suddenly Lost Power

    Why not use that little pigtail wire and make it long enough to reach a fender bolt ? Theres no such thing as too many grounds, well guess you could get carryed away but it won't hurt anything. However if your gounds are not good enough-well you found out what happens.

    mallory ignition system

    I go non- vacuum also but I hear that unilight does not fire some boxes-like MSD as good as the magnetic type. I think Mallory makes some that are magnetic but not for Mopars.

    HEI vs. Mopar Box

    MSD 7al box with the 7 series only coils are even better than the 6 boxs!! With a good cap and rotor and spark plug wires it run fine all day everyday on the street and be strip ready all the time. I loved my MSD 6 box untill I got a 7al box and its not that much more $. I only changed because...

    7AL by MSD

    Yes those coils work fine too, just stay away from the drag racing coils like the pro power. I might add that on the cap and rotor make sure it has brass post, I use Accel on a Mopar dist. which has the lean burn pick up coil-those have no vacuum advance and are one piece. I feel vacuum advance...

    7AL by MSD

    NO NO NO with the right coil, like the 8251 a msd 7al will run everyday all day long on the street just fine. This is from msd tech and me cause I had one now for 18 months. The only problems you might have is the spark is so good if your wires are cheap or old it missfire more easy than the 6...
