All I know is its a 2 wire. Likely stock, but I have no idea. Its what came on the car.

I'm telling you guys, it was putting out 45 volts (used the multimeter myself) and popped every fuse in the car. It was a short in the wiring to the regulator that caused it, its been fixed. What a PITA.

Well, now I'm getting 45 volts off my alternator and the regulator isnt doing diddly. Is it likely a bad voltage regulator or could it be something else?

Took the car out for a spin. For those thinking about putting a single plane on a 318 street car. DO NOT DO IT. Night and day, the car is SO much fun to drive. Now I just have to put the nitrous on and GO.

Well, got it started for a few minutes but wasnt able to drive it. Its got a small leak at the tstat housing I need to fix, but I've already seen a difference. The single plane took a few tries to start - it would have to crank for a bit to fire. The dual plane fires almost instantly!

My new dual plane manifold has a provision for a heater line, but I'm using a port in my radiator for coolant and do not need the manifold option. What should I use to plug/cap it off? Its an Edelbrock Performer on a 318.

today was the only day this week I've had good enough weather to do this. Likely I'll let it sit until sunday when the snow coming in tomorrow melts.

Well, for those following my saga here's an update. A member on this board offered to trade his Eddy Performer manifold (dual plane) for my M-1 single plane. I have installed it and have only a few things left to hook up on it and I'll be taking it out for a drive. I'll post here what the...

Ok, so what kind of nightmare am I in for? I'm wanting to swap out the 2.73 gears in the rear for some 3.91s - should I just take the whole car down to a shop and have them do it, or can I do it myself?

When I had vapor lock, I just wrapped the fuel line as it passed the header with heat wrap. Problem solved.

The back end looks like the new eclipse. Ugh.

Make sure all your plug wires are plugged in on the distributor. Happened to me, same issues youre describing.

YOu guys are going to give me so much crap. We hooked the vacuum guage up and got half an inch. We were like, what the hell? We started looking at everything, and my friend reached back to adjust the timing on the distributor and got a massive shock. While he was hopping around holding his...

Ok, later today I'll be hooking up my new vacuum guage and compression guage. I'll post results when i get them.
