I'm having the same issue, I noticed that when I disconnect the ECU module the coil voltage goes back up when in the run position. Mine is the proform conversion with the blue ECU box. I've tried a new coil/resister and I do get some spark, but it's not very strong, at least it's not strong...

ok, so where is the balast resistor located? That's the only one I can see. maybe that's what the problem is?

hello all, Here's whats done. removed orginal /6, now has '82 318 with newer distributor (magnetic pickup, P3874909). The ignition module has not been changed, it is a P3874020 (I believe this to be the proper one, 5 wire with a two connector resistor? it ran with whatever dist. was in the...

my bad, it's 3874909. from what I can see it's 76-78 small block. can anybody confirm this? Thanks

hi all, I have a distributer I've just dropped into my motor, but am unsure what year vehilce it is from. Any idea what the year model of this one? 5874909 single pickup dist., need to get cap and try to fire this old girl up Thanks RJ

Hi all, I've just put a trans from a 83 chrysler into my 68 dart. I'm having trouble removing the cable from the 83 tranny. I've removed the bolt and clamp, looks to have a black plastic cover, that has small grooves at 12,3,6 and 9 o'clock, I'm thinking it may require a special...

thanks, found the switch at the bulkhead, still works. cheers

hi here's what I ve done, I've swapped out the org slant six for a 318. the connector on the new auto trans is on it (three wire, brown=neutral sw, white and violet=reverse sw, or so I believe) my problem is I don't see where to reconnect the reverse wires to the body wiring (neutral sw goes...

still available?

hello again, I tried trying a different pump on these brackets (from the /6) but was not compatable, that means a new pump to. Is there a certain style of pump/bracket that is easily available (I think what I have is the saginaw?)? Thanks

Hi All, Just dropped a 318 engine from a 82 fifth ave into my 68 dart (used conversion mounts and kept /6 K-frame). but now I've run into a problem, I can't get the power steering pump to bolt up without running into an interference with the high pressure port and the motor mount brackets on...

Hi Guys, so I've finally got my sb into the 68 dart (former /6, now a V8), and I've got my hands on a magnetic pickup distributor (and a wire hareness for the four connector ballast, is this the v8 one?). I'm wondering, will this just drop in and connect to the exsisting slant six wiring...

It was the heat that finally loosened it, thanks for the input.

Hi, I've got a 82 318 block that I'm fixing and I've got the timing chain cover off, the seal is cracked now is the time to repair. My problem is that I can't seem to get the seal to start, prying just seems to bend the lip?. The book I have says to pry up from the inside of the cover...

Hi All, I'm going to be putting a edelbrock performer intake on a stock 82 5.2 that was org. a 2bbl, I'm unsure about the gasket, do I require the big $ ones from edelbrock, or will a stock gasket set do the trick? Also, I need to change the distributor from the dual pickup lean burn unit...
