The small block distributors are swap able for LA and Magnum small blocks if that's what your asking. So physically yes it should work and I guess you would just have to lock out the mechanical advance if the distributor has one.

Soda works great on cleaning up used pistons to.

I'm following with interest as well. I have more than one A body gas gauge that doesn't work. Pawned this is probably a stupid question but these cars have what I think is ground strap that goes from the sending unit to the fuel line. Not uncommon for them to be missing does your car have...

That's what I was looking for, but that's the other connector coming out of the ignition switch down the steering column. I lucked out and it ended up being an easy fix. :D

#1 Found the brown wire tail after I removed the steering column bracket. #2 Found a new piece of wire from the parts car that had the connector insert I needed. #3 Ready for a but splice with a couple pieces of shrink tube on. #4 Butt splice the two wires together #5 soldering connection...

On this 1972 Dart I'm working on. I'm missing the "brown" wire for the right rear stop and turn light. The missing wire seems to goes from the steering column connector up into the steering column. I'm guessing it may go to the turn signal switch for the brake and rear turn light. On this car...

Sorry missed your post till now. I have the 4 post orange box. The car still has the stock slant 6 ballast resister. In the past when I have done electronic ignition conversions. The kits always supplied a new replacement resister. However this little project, I'm doing with some spare parts...

What is the difference between the new ballast they supply with the kit and the old ballast on the points type cars. I'm converting this 72 Dart from slant 6 and points to V8 and electronic ignition. I have an orange box and wiring harness. Thinking about using those two items along with a...

I would guess it all depends on how your engine is built. The stock msd setup sucked for my 360/390HP engine. I changed my msd distributor over to the Black 18 degree bushing and the 2 silver (light) springs that is supplied with new msd distributors from the stock settings. At 34 degrees total...

Could be the fuseable link on the firewall electrical plug.

Bookmarking this page for future reference. :D

Years ago I bought a set of headers on ebay. I have no ideal what the brand was but they were a tight fitting set that didn't hang low like the Hookers. I installed on my 340/727 Demon and tried all kinds of starters including minis. The only one that would fit was a clockable powermaster. My...

Thats nice may have to try them myself in the future

Need to replace fusible link on the 66 Barracuda. Anybody know what amp rating I should install? The firewall connector is broke or melted for just that one wire. Thinking I'm going to solder a fusible link wire on the existing blade and just stick it back in there any thoughts or better...

#1 A good battery to engine (or head) ground unless battery is in trunk then ground to chassis. #2 Chassis ground from engine (or head) to chassis normally located on back side of passenger head to firewall is what the factory did with a bare braided flat cable.

My car would have really dime lights at idle the signals would not work sometimes. The car would stall sometimes and sometimes would not even restart or even turn over probablly because the battery was dieing. Make sure you disconnect battery when working on these wire they have power all...

I'm not quite sure what you mean regarding losing voltage if you check the battery with the car running it should have 13.6 to about 14.2 volts with the car running. I'm no expert with car electrical but I did trouble shoot my 65 Barracuda by checking the voltage at the alternator the wire block...

Regarding the losing voltage I would say maybe the amp gauge or dirty connections at the firewall terminal block. Where are you checking voltage at? To trouble shoot it you may want to start checking voltage at alterator with that car running then check at the firewall terminal block at in and...

I had a similar problem and it was the amp gauge. The gauge had so much resistance that the car was running off only the battery. Check voltage at battery and back of alternator when car is running if there is a large voltage drop between the two you may have same problem, it is common with...

double post

On my 65 Barracuda I was having low voltage at the battey like 12.5 running and 15 volts out of back of alternator, turns out my amp gauge was bad. I bypassed it for now and its like a different car. Voltage is now the same at the battery and the alternator like it should be. Sure made a...

Thanks

Just changed over my 65 Barracuda 273 engine to the MP electronic ignition. Car runs and all is good. Was wondering if I still need the condenser that connects to the + side of coil and mounts on the coil bracket.

I just bought the orange box and distributor kit for my 273 but havent did the install yet. I expect the car to start and run much better with the new igntion system. I did change over a performance 360 from points a couple years ago and noticed big improvements. I suspect must 40 year old...

From the MSD box not the battery is that correct

I read that just disconnecting the main positive + from the 12V battery source was all that was required to do welding. I have also done this with no ill affects to date on my digital MSD system
