HEI distributor on 400 big block in 1974 Dodge Dart Sport
I had $130.00 left in my ignition system budget and all I need is an ignition wire set (~95.00) so I splurged and picked up this red MSD 'Extreme Output' coil cover (PN: 84021) to match my new red distributor cap. It looks the same as their original MSD 'Extreme Output' coil cover (PN: 84022), however this one is manufactured to fit stock HEI distributor caps. Price was $40.00 shipped.
I also bought the MSD SuperConductor 8.5mm performance ignition wire set for Mopars that have the male/HEI style terminals (PN: 32739). They feature only 40-50 ohms of resistance per foot of ignition wire which is the least of any helically wound wire. They have over 40 feet of conductor wrapped in a single foot of ignition wire. They also have an extremely effective EMI choke to keep the EMI inside the wire so it will not interfere with any other electronics. They are dual crimped (a solid crimp for the conductor and seperate solid crimp for the sleeve) not only reduces the chance of arching to the block or exhaust through the boot, they are guaranteed not to pull off in 5 years!
I spent $410.00 shipped for the entire ignition system and all parts were purchased new from reputable suppliers. Pretty close to my budget, if only all my projects stayed that close to the initial budget.
