For some reason no one on the other sites can give me an answer on this. Is the petroix unit that replaces the points in say a 56 olds distributer just a electronic eye like the old Accel unit and in that casxe I still have to run a control box like an HEI unit or is it an all in one unit that...

I'm posting this here instead of over on sweptline.org because they are slow and it could take 3 years before the respond..... The only thing not working on the 69 now are the brake lights. I have a new brake light switch, a good fuse, the turn signals, running lights and hazard flashers...

So far the one part that has been giving me more trouble than any other part in the whole damn car is the distributer. On average the remans only last about 6-8 months before they die on me. I have replaced everything from the ignition switch, coil, ballast, voltage reg, ignition box...

I'm replacing the stock ignition switch in the 73 and cam upon this. The one on the right is the new one and the culprit that is screwing the whole thing up is the little black wire on the right of the big brown wire. Do I just cut it off the switch and put the 2 red and orange...

We were supposed to be at a 4th of July party about 3 hrs ago but I'm already past caring about that and thinking about how I'm getting to work Monday. I drove around this morning, washed the dart, we loaded it up and were getting ready to leave and there is no spark out of the coil. The...

The 2 wires that come out of the distributer and go into the plug on all our Mopars (in this case a slant dist.), I'm guessing that in a total custom/bastardized ignition system the black wire would be the ground and the tan wire would be the hot/trigger or would that cause the earth to explode...

Anyone have one of those tech sheets with the exploded break down of a mopar mini starter? I'm cleaning and detailing the slant and it's parts for the 48 and I know where everything goes except for one ball baring. I'm pretty sure that I know where is goes I just want to make sure.

I know all this is in the books but here it is again. V8s are pretty much the same they just have longer/shorter wires. I get asked by people all the time to take a pic of the wires and where they go under the hood of my car. My car is a 73 Dart custom with a 225/904 with 82,000 original...

I went to the welding supply store to get some sheet metal and grinding disks and on the way home my alt gauge takes a dump, lights go dim, dash goes dark, and I have to power brake it to keep the thing running at intersections. After swapping 2 alts and one voltage regulator and the battery...

guy at work has a 66 dart with a slant 6. The car will turn over and start but in order to keep it running you have to hold the key (in dash) while you drive. Ignition switch right? Ok he just told me that he replaced the ignition switch and the starter relay but it still does it. Could it be...

Street driven T-rammed 360 + Vertex magneto. Good or bad idea?

http://rt-eng.com/mediawiki/index.php/RTE_ABlimiter I found this while looking at the newest Mopar Action ( page 89). $50 for one but they buy the stock ones for 5 bucks so they can reuse the shell. I must have about 5 billion of those things in my garage, I used to snag them from the junk...

So I finally got off my *** and am doing the guage bypass http://www.madelectrical.com/electricaltech/amp-gauges.shtml Im wonderring if I really have to connect the other end of the black wire that passes through the bulkhead connector Or if I can just make it like I have in the pic. (in...

I broke down and spent the 50 bucks and got a set of the E3 spark plugs the ones with the diamond fire technology. http://www.e3sparkplugs.com/images/overviewsplug.jpg http://www.e3sparkplugs.com/ They work way better than the champions that I have been running. Anyone else ever use them?

What puts out a stronger spark, a chebby 4 pin hei unit or one of the mopar boxes?

I was sitting on the "throne" going thru some back issues and found this. I know that they are working on an E body dash but would this work on that little thing that screws up the temp and voltage guages in an A body?

The center block out of the 3 going into the firewall... Top right wire (black) going to the proportioning valve has a splice into a female plug. What does this plug goto? Same block top left wire (blue with white stripe) has a 3 way splice in it, one goes to the voltage reg., one goes to...

Im building a custom harness for my 73 and need to find some of these connectors. Also is there a source for the black plugs that plug into the firewall? You know the ones that are melted in every car in the junkyard.

I rebuilding the cluster in my 73 scamp and I have 2 guages for the alternator. I ran a test (If thats what you wanna call it) by running a wire from the + and - posts to a AA battery and on one guage the needle just barely moved and on the other the needle shot all the way to one side. The...

Im getting good charge out of the alternator and low charge to the battery. There is a draw somewhere that drains the battery in about 4 hrs. I narrowed it down to inside the car and replaced the alt guage in the dash with one that I know works, the only thing I can think of now is the...
