    55* total timing? WTH?

    Thanks everyone. I plan to start from scratch again this evening. Starting with checking TDC against the balancer. I was able to put an allen wrench in my vac advance diaphram, but it was siezed and Im pretty sure rounded out the hole. :/ In general though... NO. no pinging or major signs of...

    55* total timing? WTH?

    IF..... this harmonic balancer has shifted. Is it still usable with timing tape or does it affect balance and need to be replaced?

    missing after warmup

    Mopar 273 318 340 360 Red Small Cap Hei Distributor Coil Spark Plug Wires USA | eBay Not to hi-jack the thread... :/ but I am looking into this one too. As for your miss. Since you are not happy with the quality of the dizzy, could it be a sloppy bearing issue? Is there much play at the shaft?

    Ignition Switch "rebuild"

    Thx Rick, couldn't have done it without your tester to find out what it was!!! Today was a great day. The Valiant fired up, and I was able to get it in the garage after moving the 46 Special Deluxe out. Now I can finish my body work and get her ready to spray. I hope to have it painted by early...

    Ignition Switch "rebuild"

    Ok so here is how I tested the switch after rebuilding. On the back of the switch, each terminal is labeled as to what it does. I used a Ohms meter and checked that was no resistance through each circuit. The reason you see 0.0000 on the ohms meter is because there is no resistance in that...

    Ignition Switch "rebuild"

    OK so I am doing this so it will maybe help a few other 69 owners since our ignition switch is a one year only item. I recently needed to replace and found it to be worth more than I wanted to pay not to mention I would have to re-key either the ignition or my door locks since my lock cylinder...

    No Spark, but have power to the coil?

    Ok its confirmed!!! Just went back out and ran it through the rest of the tests. Actually, its so simple with the Chrysler tester that you really don't do anything. If the 2 green lights are lit and there are no red lights, your good! The only other test is the high output test on the coil...

    No Spark, but have power to the coil?

    Just ordered a new ignition switch from Rockauto.com Thx Rick. The tester showed an intermittent signal from the ignition switch. When in the "run" position I can wiggle the key slightly and make the indicator light flicker on the tester. That was only noticed after it didnt even come on the...

    No Spark, but have power to the coil?

    Im wondering if this is whats up? This was taken from that page! "Dan Stern also pointed out that you will need a standalone, late-model, spool-type coil, either GM or Mopar, or an MSD Blaster, which fits the stock can-type coil bracket. Otherwise the coil will have a short life." I am not...

    No Spark, but have power to the coil?

    I am seriously considering buying a kit. I swapped this in from a 74 dart and it has the "dual" ballast resister, and the 5 pin ECU. This means there is several un-needed items in the system. Im not sure if its ok to use the 5 pin ECU and not use the number 3 pin (green/red wire), and then just...

    No Spark, but have power to the coil?

    Ok, I am looking at Mopar Muscles write up on a conversion, and realizing that the 74' Ignition I used has much more crap than I need! Icurrently have the "dual" ballast resister, and realize that there are too many htings going on in the first place. Because I have "extra" stuff that didnt...

    No Spark, but have power to the coil?

    Hey guys. Well Im at it again. My Valiant says NO WAY when I try to start it. I have barely started to dig into this But I have to be honest Im not to knowledgeable with the system and how it works in detail. So here is what I have found. I have no spark out of the coil to the cap, and...
