Escalade? That's what Wolfie had. or has?

Good Morning

Escalade EXT,

Had to look it up. It was the Avalanche of Cadillac... on the large SUV frame I think

Yes, Wolfie rolls the SUV

I got a call from Jeff today. The 64 has arrived so I will drive 20 min. north to another town for a lookie loo. @halifaxhops , Jeff said it has a home installed Mopar electronic ignition on it. Any reason why it would need 12 volts to start? Jeff said they use a jumper wire to the battery. I'm thinking WTF?

With a 6 litre LS under the hood.

It started perfect yesterday. I don't know what's going on. Low voltage to the module? Bad ground or corroded bulkhead connector?

Stare at this one a while. That's a goofy truck. It's a Dodge believe it or not. It gives new meaning to "Cab Over"

Those DIY electronic ignition kits on the pre-65 B bodies are notorious for having issues. Especially since most people don’t know you have to change the voltage regulator, starter relay and ballast all to match the electronic or it’ll burn out the ecu over time due to improper ohms and voltage.

I might just go back to a stock distributor and a Pertronix If needed.

It's a Polara 500. They all had buckets and console.
