72 duster resto
About 80% done with the HEI conversion. It's a little more difficult than I expected. Multiple trips to the store to get random things like extra wire, fused in-line links, electrical connectors and random brackets to fabricate my own mounts for the coil, relay, and controller but almost there. Then time to fire it up again and see how she runs. If anyone is considering doing the mod, you should absolutely go to the local picking yard to get parts... The wiring connectors and brackets alone would make this so much simpler.
A little worried about replacing the carb and ignition at the same time since it makes troubleshooting harder but that's just the way things go. I also took the time to remove the metal o-rings on the spark plugs since I realized those were left on. My install definitely doesn't look pretty but right now just going for functional.
