Slant 6 Turbo 68Dart Project

Well, let's talk about the sandwich. It does work, it is functional, and was easy to install AFTER I modified it. I recommend you measure the stove pipe on the oil pump first because the adapters they give you fit the filter, and the pump, but DO NOT fit over the oil pump pipe. The inside diameter of the fitting needs to be bored out to the size of the pipe or a tiny bit larger to get it to work. I spent a good hour messing with it because I had to use a smaller drill bit to "machine" it out. The sandwich I bought is the same size as the oil pump ring. It all fits together like it was meant to be.

That's the one I bought if you are interested in doing the sandwich. Once I bored it out, installation was a BREEZE. SImple attach what you're going to attach to the sandwich, then place it on the pump, then Take your new filter, thread your modified bolt into it as tight as you can by hand, then slip the new assembly over the pipe and thread it onto the original threads and make sure it is seated inside the center hole of the sandwich. Clock the sandwich where you want it, then tighten the filter down by hand as you would notmally. The whole assembly sucks together real nice and tight. It's a pretty clean look once your done too.

I haven't gotten anywhere with the turbo setup today. I went to work all day, walked up the driveway, opened the hood, tried to sort out the ignition, went to start it a couple times, and no go. The battery is possibly dead or dying from all the fuel pump tests I did, because it will crank a couple times then just stop. Then you let it sit a minute - crank a couple times, then stop. I didn't spend more than 10 minutes with it before I realized I'm kinda tired, and even though the sun's still out, I'll have a ride to work tomorrow, and I can chill and I'm probably not in the mindset to work on the car right now.

The other day I did manage to get the new distributor in, and I set it to the same exact position I removed the old one from with the rotor pointed to a mark I measured off the old dizzy. I believe it is timed correctly enough on the dizzy to start, so that's not the issue (I hope) I believe I have created a mess in my mind with wiring. I need to re-look up the slant six stock wiring colors, because lucky me, both wires attached to my coil were dark blue... or I'm color blind. I am also assuming it could be because I left the ballast in line and trying to use msd at the same time. If only this system would fire without msd... would it? Could I just simply fire this setup like my pertronix? Or no? That one the two wires from the dizzy were just attached to the coil, with no ecu.

My stock fuel pump also apparently retained some fuel as it was spraying some when I was cranking. I'll have to drain that. Like I said, not really a good idea to start back up when you're wound down. Also if anyone's in the area and would like to come help me with this if I'm still at it Saturday, I'll like buy lunch or something.
