You've obviously not bothered to actually read my posts.
Nothing of relevance?

Relevant.

Relevant.

Relevant.

Relevant, trying to get back to the original issue.

Same.

Same.
If the thread should "evolve" beyond the question at hand, there'd be no need for more than one thread on the entire site. So let's talk redheads vs brunettes or lagers vs pilsners...

Kettle got left burning on the stove.

"You are free to ignore anything I post if it’s offensive to you."


My bad. I did read that. I should have said relevant to the conversation one it evolved.

I hope that clears it up for you.

You gonna send my your address or keep blabbin?

I think I know the answer.
 
Doesn't matter, it wasn't even the topic of this thread.
The OP was curious about what he thought was excessive heat in the coil of his street cruiser. Some suggestions were made about a possible mismatch in Ohm ratings/requirements of the components that were in use.
Then a comment was made about redoing his entire ignition with an HEI module and Ford E-coils triggered by the Chryco distributor.
After that nobody bothered reading any of the posts and it turns into a pissing match about HEI high RPM capability, HEI advance mechanisms (which NOBODY ever suggested using an HEI distributor, only the module), and 800 HP Chevy smallblocks with a 300 shot at gawd knows what rpms.
After the first page there's absolutely nothing of value to the OP; and we're now at 5 pages and counting of stuff irrelevant to the subject and just devolving into children calling each other names and throwing insults.
How useful.
If any "guests" (that aren't web robots) are actually viewing this thread, they're probably just shaking their heads and moving on to somewhere else.
If you want to express professional opinions, act like professionals. And keep it on point.
Then I won't have to pretend I'm your Mommy. Not my job.
Now you can all gang up on me for saying I'm sick of this ****. Start your own thread to berate each other in, about whatever topic you like.

Paragraph 3 is where it went off the rails.

The HEI crowd jumped right in and derailed the thread with nonsense.

I addressed that.

I didn’t see you chipping at them for taking the thread into the sewer.

This happens when certain individuals with minimal experience get corrected. Certain other individuals feel like they need to defend the offender and we are off to the races.

I also can’t find where you said a WORD to Bewy about his garbage posts that had nothing to do with the OP.

Hmmmmmmmmmmm
 
None of the dick measuring is helping but I have a box to send you to test. That might could actually help someone.

Like my comment about the 800hp Chebby?
I also can't find a single time I directed ANYTHING at you in particular or mentioned you by name, you just assumed it was all aimed at you.
Hmmmmmm
 
More and more guests dropping in wanting to learn > way more visitors than FABO members that's for sure, World Wide.

tell me you know nothing about traffic on internet forums without telling me you know nothing about traffic on internet forums.

like much of your advice this is breathtakingly naive with a side salad of ignorance.

but thanks for the hei pics, i totally didn't know what they looked like!

*thumbs* *thumbs* *yay* *go team*

You didn’t post that. The serial Vizard leg humper did. I addressed the flaws in what he posted and hurt his feelings. He can go get some therapy for that.

The other dolt slobbering over the HEI like it’s the ultimate ignition for low performance garbage that he’s affectionate for jumped right in there with his “just wire in a HEI module and use this slick coil and you can rotate the earth” has zero proof it’s any better than points, and I’d argue for the guy who doesn’t know and understand this about these ignitions retarding it could make less power.

I know people who went out and upgraded their ignition and lost power and went slower. Seen it several times.

It’s not because the bigger or hotter or better ignition didn’t make a difference, it’s 99.99% of the time a retard issue.

If you have sorted out the timing on an engine (not saying anything about retarding, just sorting it out) and then you change ignition systems you very well could have more retard occurring (or less retard) or it’s retarding at a different rpm or both, then you can’t say the bigger, badder, *** kicking ignition made less power.

Well you can because people do just that, but the truth of it is if you TESTED both systems and corrected the curve for both systems the likelihood the results would be different are astronomical.

The timing retarding affects power and drivability like a ****.

And that’s my whole point. The HEI is a budget ignition system that has millions of aftermarket research dollars spent on to develop the thing and it’s ok for what it is.

To go public with the leg humping of the HEI without educating the public about as much of the issues with all of them and crowing the HEI king of ignition systems is at best disingenuous.

For some of these people it’s just lying. Ok, we can call it half truths to make it palatable for the blind of the kingdom.

I probably should stop quoting the last post in the thread.

It appears that causes massive confusion and way too many Hmmmmmmmmmmm’s.
 

You didn’t post that.
Never said I posted the 800 hp chevy- I said I commented on it.

I asked Rick Ehrenberg (sp?), the maker of the Hi Rev 7000, and he said that prolonged low RPM is not an issue with his box. But....He is selling, and the coil is really hot. Makes me wonder. Thanks for the suggestions.

For the record, none of the ignition boxes get too hot for continued use.

The car I have now had a gold box on it when my cousin bought it. It was more street than strip and it never had an issue.

The dude he bought the car from bought the box in 1989 and drove the crap out of it until my cousin bought it in 2001.

The ONLY reason it came off was because he wanted a rev limiter.

Guys run MSD 7 boxes on the street. I have quite a few Mallory 7 boxes running on the street. Analog and digital.

In fact, I’m going to help hook one up on Sunday. It’s mostly a street car.

you sure you know how to wire it in? We heard it was your forte….

Lol I’m semi retarded. That’s why I ran a mag for years and MFI.

I knew the mag wouldn’t fail and the mechanical pump wouldn’t quit unless the belt failed.

Back then you couldn’t buy a reliable electric pump and I still don’t trust ANY battery fired ignition any further than I can poop it out my rear end.

I use them. They aren’t failing, but I don’t trust them.

It’s like dating a stripper. Hot rod around a bit and then drive off.

When they break down it’s miserable.

No offense to strippers, battery fired ignitions and poop.

Check your PMs ya 'tard.
 
Time to put down the Swards for a bit fellas.
Take a moment to enjoy our unique mopars.

Out and about running around with the old dodge truck on a nice sunshine day here in Palm Bay Florida.
My last stop was Publix Grocery Store to pick up a gallon of milk and some ham.

Pulled up to park and was thinking > Turk (and other FABO guests) would like to see this engine setup on the grocery getter,

Truck Palm Bay 1.jpg

As I was wrapping up taking the engine photos to share and getting the Grocery Store in the background, a young man pulled up behind me in a newer vehicle. His comment right off the cuff without even saying hello was: Is that Truck for Sale?

Smiled and said it could be. Took the next 15 minutes showing him all about the truck inside and out. Mentioned to him that restarting some of these warm vehicles can be a lot of cranking to clear them out. Hit the key for him, no foot on the accelerator and instant start > he said that is nice.

Spent another 10 minutes with him telling him more about what these mopars are about and the values that they hold over time. They are more of an investment that you can get your costs back out of after holding them for 3 - 4 years, instead of depreciating like new vehicles do the moment driven off the lot.

We exchanged phone numbers, turns out he lives close by so told him stop by and we will go for a ride and run through the motions.


It's always so surprising just about every time I have the old truck out, someone will go out of their way and come talk with me. Just yesterday I was waving a guy past me as I was ready to turn entering the main road. Guy comes over and says: Hey can I catch a ride over to the next light? I said, yeah get in the back. He crawled in (no tailgate) sat in front of the wheel well hanging onto the side. 2 miles later got him to the stop light, the he asked: can you turn left and take me 2 more blocks. Told him it's the end of the line buddy. time to be on your way.

I U-Turned around and went back about my business, cruising in a mopar.

Turk,
You are getting worse...
Letting 'hate' get in the way of reason.
And now for the fourth time: what does the 3 amps refer to in a '3 amp magneto '. You say you KNOW. Well, tell us! does it mean the mag generates 3 amps of current in the primary winding? There is 3 amps in the spark current?

Fact is you haven't got a clue....& haven't got a clue about many other things. When your BS.....is shown to be BS, you resort to name calling & denigration. A real hero...
