Quality control and stability issues aside, a working vacuum advance negates the need for a high initial (static) timing setting (less starter bucking, easier starting) and gives the tuner another tool to select the proper timing for any combination of load and RPM. If you really want to add...

Just replaced or not, the regulator could be bad, especially if it's a mechanical one and not the later electronic one. Reinstall the alternator and verify the wiring is right per the factory wiring diagram for your year and model. Check the voltage (manual says to use the blue or black...

Why not just just put up a sticky to refer people to the Daniel Stern Lighting website. I don't think he would mind, and the in depth material presented there should be considered a must read for anyone wanting to up grade their lighting.

Rewiring the headlights with short 10 gauge wires and high quality connectors, relay controlled from the OEM switch in the interior is also a smart move. Look up Daniel Stern lighting, I understand he's a fellow Mopar nut of the slant six persuasion.

Check all the wires between the alternator and the voltage regulator with an ohm meter to make sure a broken wire is not the source of your problem. If you haven't got one, I've seen them (VOM) as cheap as four bucks on sale at Harbor freight. And yes, you wouldn't be the first to get a bad...

The slantsix.org guys have been adapting the GM 4 pin HEI module (a little over 20 bucks at Rock Auto) and compatible coil (Fox Mustangs come to mind for a couple bucks apiece at the pickaparts) to their stock mag pulse distributors (the standard Mopar distributor after 72) for years now and...

I didn't see any witches in the picture. Don't expect posters to want to waste a great deal of time responding to threads written so poorly as to be unintelligible. Spellcheck is your friend! Google grammer girl for help with sentence construction and punctuation. Volume knob is on driver...

Put a stock tilt column in a 60s/70s Mopar and you'll find it's a GM column with a Chrysler lock tumbler and adaptor wiring looms about 6" long running from the flat wiring comb and squarish ignition switch plug(s) on the column to the round terminal connector plug(s) in the Chrysler harness...

Spell check is your friend! From the 76 Electrical Service Manual: Starter Solenoid Test; Connect a heavy jumper wire on the starter relay between the battery and solenoid terminals. If the engine cranks the starter solenoid is good. Proceed to the starter relay test. If the engine does...

The 340 in my 71 Van got to doing the same thing so I easter egged in a coil I had laying around. Low and behold it ran, but only for a while. Swapped in another used coil, same thing, ran for a couple of months and quit. Did not seem to matter whether I was running the points setup or Mopar...

Mopar Action did an article in August 2000 on upgrading the mechanical instrument voltage regulator to a reliable electronic one made with cheap components readily available from Radio Shack amongst others. Also check to see if the factory printed circuit board is damaged. Sometimes you can...
