Funny, I saw that ad earlier and immediately went in a search for a 64 Polara T shirt.
Stop in for a cup of coffee

I was never into early B bodies but I have a friend trying to sell me a 63 fury. Cool car but I'm not sure how easy parts are to find and it's kinda foreign to me because I've always been mainly A body 67 to 73

So is been like 6 or 7 years since my last electronic ignition conversation.
If I remember right a 1 ohm single row ballast resistor should do the job.... right?
I'm using all stock factory parts

May have to ask @halifaxhops
He doesnt backread, so you may have to post this all again during the day.
Depends on the setup. My 64 is rolling a dual pin resistor with the new wiring harness.
Adding the distributor pigtail was simple. There's kits

I have the stock slant electronic dizzy and the new harness.
The voltage regulator looks like an old mechanical one but that's only looks, it's the later style internally and stock coil
VR was unchanged as well as the coil. I did go to a high vibration coil because it's horizontal.
Pretty sure it's the distributor pickup and pigtail going to the ECU that changes

Ok, so educate me on the coil.
It makes a difference how its mounted, like vertical or horizontal.
I think most slant sixes are vertical
Yes..
Standard coil is oil filled. There's some risk when mounted horizontal that the contacts inside would be out of the oil and cooling. The high vibration coils remove that risk.
My slant coil was on the fender.

That is interesting because I took that coil off a fury parts car i have and most big blocks are mounted horizontal from the factory
Morning. Coffee is up help yourselves.

63 furies are one of the best bodies mopar ever made... Parts aren't too bad to get for 63, for 62 it's pretty bad. Almost anything you would need could be asked for on FBBO and you would find a place or someone with the part.. very good people for that over there (pretty boring otherwise though) Although they actually help each other without it turning into a slap fight
Any pics? specs? local to me?
I don't need another car but would love a 63...Those vertical turn signals make me feel funny inside... plus a near perfect roofline (other than the 64 polara which has the best roofline of all mopars..

that intake/carb is worth more than what he's asking for the lot... damn man...
P.S. that 400 would make a killer 500 inch stroker with a six pack.. and could get probably 1500 for the other 2 motors if they clean up and turn over.. bah.. would switch my car to a big block for that

I had a Niva given to me, should have tried to get it running. Nope, i filled it with scrap. Some days i regret it.
Early B's are something I have never owned and something I wanted before I get too old. I am really enjoying my Polara.
Morning!
Nice morning, watched a lightning storm pass by last night, glad it missed us. Today i go work on the 50 dodge, get it running for my friend’s memorial.
His son in law that i never met will be hanging out while i work on it. I was hoping to be left alone..
