I'm curious how you folks with trunk-mounted batteries wire up your MSD ignition boxes. Instructions say wire the box directly to the battery. They also say not to use a fuse in that wire because the box apparently has automatically resetting short-circuit protection. So if I run the large red...

Are there any sealed beam headlights on the market that are worth a ****? I know the GE nighthawks were decent until they outsourced to China, but are there any others currently in production worth buying?

For those of you who make your own battery cables, what ends do you use to terminate the cable on the battery end and connect it to the battery? I'm trying to find a clean, reliable battery lug end for some cables I'm making and looking for some ideas. Thanks guys.

Does anyone have a source or part number for the Packard 56 terminals that take two 16ga wires? Or is twisting the two wires together and using a larger terminal the only option?

Does anyone know a source for these terminals? They are for a steering column connector for an early A-body. I believe both sides are the same, so they don't use a traditional male/female configuration. Are these a Molex-style connector? More importantly, does anyone know what these are called...

Are these crimp terminals for taillight bulb fixtures available? I realize they sell assembled pigtails, but I'm curious if someone sells just the piece that crimps at the end.

In researching relay panels for rewiring my 66 Dart, I've noticed some manufactures offer an option "ground trigger" circuits. I'm just curious - when would it be beneficial to trigger relays with a ground trigger? What are some examples?

I'm trying to determine the amp rating for this particular microswitch at 12 volts DC. Am I reading this correct? It's apparently rated at 0.5A @ 125 VDC and 0.25A @ 250 VDC. Is it then safe to assume then that the amp rating is linear in relation to voltage, thus rendering a 5.0A rating at...

For those who have rewired their cars, what all do you recommend running off relays? I realize that generally, they're meant for "high draw" circuits, but what constitutes "high draw?" I'm doing some research before I tackle rewiring a car of mine and am trying to determine what to run off...

For those with trunk mounted batteries, how do you prefer to route the starter cable and alternator charge wire? I'm doing some electrical planning for my 66 BB Dart build and am trying to figure out the best way to rout these large cables (e.g., along the frame rails, through the interior, etc.)

Where do you guys buy good quality electrical components (wires, relays, fuse blocks, terminals, etc)? I'm getting ready to wire my 66 Dart from scratch and would rather buy components and build what I need than buy a whole harness and not use half of the stuff. I'd rather stay away from the...

I need to make set of plug wires for a stock 400 for my 66 Dart. I'm trying to go cheap now because I'll likely have to make a different set once I put the 470 in it w/ angled plug heads and custom headers. Have any of you guys used these Summit plug wires on a big block? Summit Racing...

Does anyone happen to know how to wire one of these later model GM ignition modules up to a MP distributor? As you can see in the second photo, there are 4 pins, so I'm assuming two go to the pickup in the distributor, whereas two go to the coil (-) and (+). Only reason I ask is that I happen...

Are any of you guys using a MSD digital-6 Plus or one of the new digital 6al-2 boxes? How do you like them? Looks like the only differences between the two is that the digital 6-Plus has a switched retard and a start retard function.

I'm trying to decide on an alternator for my big block 66 Dart project. I'm thinking a toyota Denso 90 amp should work, but what do you guys think? I'll be running an electric fuel pump, Taurus cooling fan, MSD ignition, line lock, head/tail lights, etc. I know the right way to figure this...

What is this large contraption attached to the vacuum advance pot on this old points distributor? The distributor is off a 400 FWIW. Thank you.

Have any of you big block guys had clearance issues with the mini starter? I went to install my 96 Dakota starter on my 400 block, and the body of the starter seems to be hitting the half moon cut out on the block. There does seem to be a little casting flash in that area, so I'm sure it's...

Does anyone happen to know what the thread pitch is for the two terminals on a denso-style mini starter? I realize they're probably metric right? Does anyone know size/pitch of both?

Has anyone ever used one of these aftermarket turn signal canceling cams? Are they junk? Chrysler 62-66 New Turn Signal Repair Cam TS13 Made in USA Repl 2258700 2822170 | eBay My cam is broken on my 66 Dart and I'd rather not have to replace the whole switch, as the wiring and rest of the...

What do you guys recommend for a set of good small block plug wires?

Do inductive timing lights ever go bad and give off inaccurate flashes? I've got a vintage Craftsman chrome inductive light that I'm questioning because of how much initial timing my 340 wants. I've verified the TDC mark - it's spot on. Maybe this 340 just an anomaly because it seems to want...

I have a newer adjustable mechanical advance mopar distributor and am trying to locate the table that lists adjustable slot length and degrees of advance at that slot length. Does anyone have that chart handy? Thank you!

My 68 Dart currently has a ground cable from the battery to the front of the drivers side cylinder head along with the small pigtail to the radiator core support. There is no ground wire or strap from the rear of the engine to the firewall. My questions are: 1. Is a ground strap/wire...

What are some of the anti-theft switches you guys have used on your old mopars? I'm wondering if a cigarette lighter could be integrated as sort of an ignition kill.

What type of wire loom or tape do you use for your wire harnesses? The wiring in my engine bay is finally done and now I need to cover it. I never liked the look of that plastic convoluted covering and regular electrical tape just makes a mess. What do you guys suggest?

Is it true that Standard Mopar orange boxes pull out timing under high load? What about standard parts store 4-pin HEI modules?

How much mechanical advance does a stock '79 360 mopar electronic distributor allow in stock form without tweaking the advance slots? Were any of them different???

Does anyone happen to know a Napa part # for a 12 ga male bulkhead terminal? I know they sell the 14-16ga variety, but I need one for 10-12 ga wire. I'd rather not have to buy online. I found a GM#2971859, but can't seem to find any local. Thanks! Primary Wire Terminal

Any idea if solid mounting MSD Blaster SS coil would result in any damage? The rubber vibration mounts are pretty cheesey. I've already had two break. Just wondering if mounting it with solid spacers instead would cause issues.

Does anyone have a part number or stock application for an adjustable small block vacuum advance pot? Thanks! Also, is there a way you can tell by looking at aftermarket replacements if they are adjustable? Like this one- BWD V194 - Vacuum Control | O'Reilly Auto Parts
