Stop in for a cup of coffee

I checked the pick up gap on the old distributor it was way wide and the distributor was really cruddy inside. It looked like a fresh junk yard pull. I didn't check it closer after I pulled it but it acted like the rivet for the pivot was loose. The plate was real sloppy nad you could move it around with the adjustment screw tight. The replacement that I had was marked "remanufactured", was clean, had a new vac. canister, and the gap was .009. It's good I looked a little closer at that old one.
Where's Karl? Just too much material there to work with this early.... But definitely can't have a wide, cruddy gap. :eek:

I was wondering that yesterday. Last time he checked in he said he had been in the hospital again. Poor guy, can't catch a break.

Yeh, seems he goes a step forward on the medical stuff. Then full speed right back to work and down again. I completely understand though - bills to pay. I'm probably going back in a week myself.
 
Hey @halifaxhops, This is the diagram I used as a guide. It was the only one I had (out of 4) that mentioned the wiring for the start position on the ign. switch. No wonder why Jeff had to jump the coil from the battery to get it started.

Oh, you'll get a chuckle out of this, The wire positions on the ECU are pin positions. when you pull the plug, all the positions are backwards when you turn the plug over to test. It took me a while to figure that out. :BangHead: :BangHead: :BangHead: Sometimes my brain just doesn't work. :lol:

It looks like chance of rain today from 10-2 then from 5-7 pm. A little chance of snow for a couple hours around midnite. It warms up to mid 50's on Monday. Crazy spring weather.
 
today they don’t know how to open a parts book
When I was building the Demon I was thwarted on many occasions by the parts counter guy. I would ask for X part for 6.1 Hemi they would then ask what vehicle it was for, I would reply that is not going to help you. They would then retort that they had to have vehicle to look it up. I would repeat I need XnX part for a 6.1 aHemi. I would ultimately give up and tell them a 72 Demon. Back to swirling the drain every time.

:BangHead: :BangHead: :BangHead: And I do understand why that happens. The computer program needs the application information up front to come up with a part number. All You need to do is fool the program with the application and that's where a good counterman comes in,. Like looking up a Mopar mini starter from a 5.7l Dakota that you are installing on your (my) 66 Dart. Just look it up for a 97 Dakota and if they ask what color tell them white. :thumbsup::rofl::rofl:

Like telling them a 225 slant 6. "well the only 6 I'm showing is a 3.7liter" Ok, just use that one. LOL
