Okay 67Dart and Bill.G. I finally got the concept of rotor phasing. Thnx for the explanations and links. So, I called Pertronix tech line again this morning and discussed the approx 20' I had to adjust the timing. I want to be clear, if you read back to my previous threads, you'll see I...

Its not for trying, but I just can't seem to wrap my head around this "change of phase". In reading back trhough the installation instructions, at no point do they suggest removing the distributor. 1. Remove distributor cap and rotor from distributor... and the last step 21. The engine...

Hey Bill G, I have to check part numbers, but I have every reason ,including a part number on the coil, to believe the 80K-something miles on the odometr is original to the car. Right now,the car drives at least as good as it did on the 3400+ miles cross country last month, on points, that...

I will follow up on rotor phasing issues. Again, I thought it would be perfect just dropping it in. Here is how I see it... The Ignitor will fire the coil at a set point on the distributor shaft rotation... the distributor is hard connected to the cam... Rotating the distribuotr (ie, ...

Thnx 67Dart273 Nope, its no problem. I just broke out the timing light and retarded the timing back into spec. I had installed the Pertronix without even loosening the distributor, figuring that I knew it was already dead on 12'BTDC. Suprise, suprise... LOL I guess it is just a matter of...

Okay, I didn't have any time the last two days. I read through all the post here, and got out there with my VOM to do some follow up. I see what was said about running voltage vs starting voltage at the ballast resistor. But I kept coming back to the Pertronix instructions which said not to...

Okay, did that test. With both terminals pulled off, I have power on the Dark Blue / Dark Blue w/ Trace side. So, now I gotta figure a way to connect without splicing into one of them, without ruining the connector. Guess I'll stop at Radio Shack in the AM and see they have a combo male / female...

Hello electrical gurus, I'm installing a Pertronix Ignitor (original, not II or III). I've confirmed the coil has adequate resistance, greater than 1.5 ohm across the poles when not connected. Because the '67 'cuda has a ballast resistor (2 terminal), the instructions say to connect the...

Thanks for everyone's input. Itate, exactly same as what I've got. The 2nd spade terminal doesn't look "normal". Skykeith, I'm headed to a friend's house to borrow a VOM meter. I expect it is exactly same as you say. Will report back. Abdyjoe and 70aarcuda, thanks for the links and...

The car has been in hibernation for some number of yrs before the 16 yrs I've owned it. It doesn't have an electronic regulator, still has the old mechanical style points voltage regulator. Abdyjoe - Which terminal should be connected to ground? Nearest, or furthest from the main power stud...

Hi all, The front bearing in my alternator is starting to squeal. The '67 'cuda is wired for single field alternator. I can only find a dual field replacement from the common sources. I have to have the car driving before Sunday. What modification do I need to make to use a dual field...
