    Enclosed car trailer questions - before I buy.

    There's a lot of us on here that have enclosed trailers, and I used my for the same purpose, temp storage while building a garage. There's a lot of ways to discourage theft, but it's no different whether they break into your garage or steal your trailer. Just make sure you got good...

    Enclosed car trailer questions - before I buy.

    24' Minimum, 5500 min per axle. Beavertail rear ramp, use a winch to move vehicle in/out, therefore no need to climb in/out of car. I bought a top notch, used trailer off of craigslist. Just be patient, you'll find one.

    69 Valiant- wiring dual field alt, reg, with msd box,

    Even though this is a late (6 month) reply.. Yes, tie the Brown and the Blue/White wires together (one is the START and the other is the RUN off the key ignition switch) when bypassing the ballast resistor. When both are connected together and tied to the red lead, it provides 12v signal...

    Hei conversion troubleshooting

    Congrats! I ran a new ground to every mounting bolt/screw on each device in the ignition chain for assurance. Put a link on here of what you bought so everyone else will know what worked for you. :thumbsup:

    Hei conversion troubleshooting

    The HEI conversion shouldn't have any effect on the timing due to the fact you use the same distributor, it should just giving you a hotter spark (if you went to a high voltage coil) and a bit more reliability. Other than regapping the plugs, there shouldn't be diff with idle and throttle response.

    I do not have a double ballast, I have a single.

    Hei conversion troubleshooting

    It was 72 when the electronic ignition was introduced. That doesn't mean mine was originally that way, but it was in my duster when I bought it.

    Hei conversion troubleshooting

    Spent this morning converting from ECU to HEI. Regapped the plugs, running like a champ. I bypassed the ballast, but left everything in tact so I can go back to ECU. I will post pics in the next day or two.

    [WANTED] 71 Duster Rear Bumper

    Sending you PM. Thx

    Hei conversion troubleshooting

    I already tried that, the 71 Duster/Valiant wiring diagram doesn't show the ECU electronic ignition. The ignition switch doesn't show individual terminations at the key switch. Nothing shows the function of each wire. I currently have the 4 pin ecu - single ballast resistor setup. Thanks

    Hei conversion troubleshooting

    I tried the HEI setup on my 71 Duster, had no spark so set it up on the bench and it's sparks no problem. I believe I'm not isolating the ignition 'start' and 'run' leads to trigger the 12v relay. Does anyone know the pin assignments coming off the bulkhead wiring block for both start and run...

    [WANTED] Chrysler C-4166 Tester

    I did the PU test on the new distributor and it works fine. So it's just taking the time to pull the old one out. I have no idea what to offer for the tester, and did you say it will work with both the 4 and 5 pin? Thanks. Dave

    [WANTED] Chrysler C-4166 Tester

    I'm a bit embarrassed but couple Saturdays ago, took out the 71 duster and about 10 min into the drive it just died. No spark. I've been reading up on the issue and it looks like everybody's got a different view. So, took to grounding everything good first. Ordered a kit with a new ECU, cap...

    [WANTED] Chrysler C-4166 Tester

    It actually should look like this.. There should also maybe an adapter for the 5 to 4 pin ECU? Even better if it's a 4166A If you have one, price? What's happened is my duster died a couple weeks ago, lost spark. Been throwing parts at it with no luck. Dave

    Is SC or GA more car hobby friendly?

    Here in SC, the first question we ask is "where you'all comin' from?" 'Cause if you is a yankee, we don't need your 'kind' down here. Now, if you got a couple mopar muscle cars, we might can tolerate a visit or two, but ya gotta bring the mopars with ya on your visit.. :confederateflag::mob:
