    Occasional starting difficulty with Digital HP CD box in my D200

    I have a 1972 D200 that I installed a Pertronix Digital HP ignition system on along with Summit billet (mag pickup) distributor. I have an issue where the voltage to the wire that tells the box to turn "on" sometimes drops below the minimum voltage during cranking. Oftentimes if I crank the...

    Strange electrical issues with my '72 Dodge truck

    I've had this truck a few years now and when I first got it I removed quite a bit of add-on wiring that previous owners had put in, I assume for powering stuff in their camper as that's what this truck spent most of its life as. One issue I still have though is if I go to crank the engine with...

    Ignition/electrical gurus I need some wisdom...

    I have a Mallory HyFire-6A ignition box on my Duster with a factory electronic disributor and a conventional-style "can" coil spec'd for my setup. I recently learned about analog timing dial-back devices like the MSD 8680; I want to get one but it says it will only work with MSD systems. Now...

    Classic Dash A-body instrument panel "review"

    I just got finished putting in one of the plastic gauge panels from Classic Dash in my Duster. I am very happy with the results, going from a stock dash with sucky factory gauges and broken speedo to this was a HUGE improvement. Before: Gauges mocked up: And here's a video of it all...

    Ignition box dead?

    I attempted to drive my Duster today in 3*F (yes three degrees) weather, I actually got it started with no troubles and drove it for a while. Then I went to make a turn, accelerated onto a main road and it just died when I let off the throttle. Thought the battery was bad (which it was) but...

    No more instrument panel dimmer?

    The other night while out driving my '70 Duster the instrument panel lights all of a sudden went out. I thought it was a bad fuse but a new one didn't fix it. I then found that the panel lights would only work if I turned the headlight switch all the way to the left. What happened, and how...

    No brake lamps '73 B200 Sportsman van

    Hey everyone, I know this isn't an A-body but it's a pretty cool Mopar to say the least and my friend and I need your help. We've been trying for 2 days to figure out how to make the tail lamps come on when the brake pedal is pushed and also to make the hazard flasher work on my friend's...

    Dome light won't turn off

    Hey guys, I can't get the dome light in my '70 Duster to work properly. If I put a bulb in the socket it stays on no matter what I do with the door switches (doors closed or open) or the headlight switch (which I have replaced with a new one from Checker Auto). I've carefully studied the...

    Is this a good ignition combo?

    I want to upgrade the stock points-type ignition on my 318 and decided I might as well go all the way and get a nice MSD-type Capacitive Discharge setup. Here's what I picked out on Summit: http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?part=MAA%2D29216&FROM=MG...
