The wiring when I got the truck, along with everything else was 100% stock, just poorly maintained. Fusible links were all still in place and intact. Surprisingly. The factory design of the B+ sensing signal for the voltage regulator is notorious for having a constant droop due to the myriad...

So, I finally got it sorted. Pulled the distributor and found that the reluctor was contacting the pick occasionally. Pulled the reluctor and got a new one off another distributor I had. Cleaned that reluctor with a points file to make sure all the tips were square. Then checked the gap on...

Update. Decided to check the simple stuff and thought I had figured out the issue. I made a twisted pair cable out of an old distributor pickup cable end and two female insulated connectors. Installed that and moved the coil wire away from the new jumper between the module and distributor...

I've already got one of Henry's coils on the truck. Guess I left that out. The current ignition setup has been on the truck for three years now. The old ballast resistor went into the shitcan about two days after I got it along with the coil and ECU ignition module which had left a nice stain of...

1983 W-150 318 2-V. Mostly stock with a Melling MTD-1 cam and the aforementioned HEI conversion. OE emissions equipment is installed and (mostly) working. The thermostatic ported vacuum switches to the EGR and vac advance are effectively "failed open" but my issues are cold & hot, so not...

I've got a 1983 W150 318-2V, auto w A/C. Flattened a cam lobe in the poor thing and pulled the heads and did the top end while I had it down. Noticed some weeping around the radiator water boxes, so I took it to my local radiator shop. Just got a call saying the core is bad and will need...
