I am trying to identify the right stock coil part number and appearance (black with what color writing/stamping s) for a 4 speed 71 Duster with electronic ignition. Was this coil part number also used on other models and years? Trying to find the right coil for a 71 Duster restoration. Any...

I recall reading when I installed an MSD that if you hook them up wrong it could cause an issue. I did just that and had MSD fix it. If I recall correctly they suggest disconnecting the main power if you weld on the car also.

You can try FBO in Oregon. They curve distributors. Not sure they work on MSD but certainly worth a quick call or email. There was also another member, not Ray, selling reconditioned distributors a while back. May be worth a search in the for sale ads. FBO Performance Ignition for all...

On a bracket car I ran a hot lead from the starter solenoid on the drivers inner fender into the car, connected it to a suitable switch for the load, and connected the ignition hot lead to the other side of the switch. Crank the engine and then flip the switch.

I have seen people attach them on the underside of the battery tray to keep the engine bay clean.

I asked DUI a while back and they mentioned there needs to be at least 1 iChat of room all around a stock distributor to fit their large GM cap small block distributor.

Curious to see if anyone has tried to squeeze the DUI HEI distributor with large Chevy style cap in the small block A Body. DUI mentioned there needs to be a minimum of 1.5 inches from the stock cap to the fire wall. No mention about the wiper motor up top. My car 69 Barracuda is apart so I...

Is there a stock replacement or aftermarket cap for the small block that has male recepticles for spark plugs just like an MSD or HEI cap?

You can always run a stock electronic distributer and an HEI module and proper coil. TrailBeast on this site sells a nice complete kit. You can also try this adapter and purchase an HEI module and the appropriate coil. http://www.designed2drive.com/ Or if you are the do it yourself kind...

There is another thread ongoing right now. Link is below. http://www.forabodiesonly.com/mopar/showthread.php?t=203055

You can convert your existing electronic distributor.

If you search the site you will see they make a model with a smaller cap (small block size) and external coil. This is the version they recommend for A Bodies. The control module is mounted on the side.

I like to control my electronics with separate switches

I have read in the past that ignition wires # 5and #7 should be crossed to prevent cross fire. I have not experienced any ignition issues with my MSD 6A running this way. How are you keeping them apart near the distributor and spark plugs?

Petronix now has a new version "III" that is multi spark and has a rev limiter. I would stay away from that eBay unit.

I believe they make a Petronix III that has a built in rev limiter and milti spark capability. Has anyone tried this new version yet?

Here is some information for HEI installation. http://duster318.freeservers.com/tech/hei.html http://www.slantsix.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=15779 http://www.designed2drive.com/

This is correct. The cap/coil combo is too large for A body small blocks. They do have a stock size cap and HEI unit that uses an external mounted coil. No need to mount a control unit as it is attached to the distributor. Like several other suppliers they will custom the advance to your...

I would like to hide the stock electronic module under the dash of my 69 Barracuda. Any suggestions or alternative locations people have used to keep the engine compartment stock looking? Thanks

I have heard they are pretty reliable and better than points. There is a new version out that has a rev limiter and multi-spark. Anyone tried it yet? Just curious if I should try it versus trying to hide a stock ignition box to keep the enginer compartment clean and original looking.

Just wondering if anyone has run the points replacement Ignitor III module. I like the simplicity of the swap. Just wondering if it offers similar durability and spark energy compared to a Mopar conversion ignition kit. Thanks

Can someone post a picture of where the factory tachometer wire coming from the coil on a 69 Barracuda passes through the fire wall? Is there a gromet protecting the wire from the fire wall? Thanks

Yes Redline gauge works can do the conversion for you. It costs around 140 if I remember correctly. http://www.redlinegaugeworks.com/

Here is another choice. I have a CTEK 3300 model and it works very well. http://www.racerpartswholesale.com/category/Ctek_Battery_Chargers_Article

Thanks for the comments. I checked a few sites for the repro tachs and they all seem to go to 8000 RPM vs. the pictures I have seen in brochures that are 6000 RPM and the one in my dash is also 6000 RPM. What gives?

Sorry I forgot to mention the car is a 69 Barracuda Formula S 340 4 speed with ralley dash and 150 MPH speedo.

Can someone post a picture of the correct tach fave for a 1969 ralley dash? Thanks

Just wondering what your experiences are in using the Rach repair kit offerred by RT Engineering http://rt-eng.com/mediawiki/index.php/RTE_67-74_Tach_kit I am restoring my instrument cluster and was considering this upgrade. Has anyone installed this? There are aftermarket...
