1969 Daily Driver
First things first. Upgrade the Ignition system. Now back in the 1990's before I could afford an MSD systems "for my street racing days" an old hot rodder showed me how to use an HEI to make a 12 volt ignition system. I could not find my old paper drawing of what wires went where so I googled it and was I shocked. This is something that is way more popular than I thought. But here is what I did. Went to the junkyard looking for a 1990 ford coil bracket, 1996-1999 chevy blazer module heatsink, and some plug ends. I got a new distributor at o'reilly's for a 1975 slant six dart, coil for a 1990 ford F150 with a 5.8, and a module for a 1977 chevy anything with a V8. Opened up the plug gap to 0.050" and ran one temp cooler plug. I also installed a 2 field 60 amp alternator.
