Ill take them, send you a message.

So the Valiant has been fun to drive. I ordered the kit from American Autowire and am in the middle of that project. It will really clean up the engine compartment and ill have all new wires through out the car.

That is a nice kit...

I bought this 2 years ago, got the idea on here. Chin spoiler from a mid 90's Ford Ranger. Fits good!

I bought this 2 years ago finnaly got around to installing. I don't remember the exact year it was for but mid 90's Ford Ranger. I got the idea in here( I don't remember who posted it).

Well I feel stupid.... It had to do with NOT PAYING ATTENTION! I had all 4 ballast wires hoked to the small red MSD box wire. I belive that was feeding the box voltage with the ignition turnd off.... Thanks everyone for making me take a good look at my wiring. please dont think different of...

Ok, so just remind me how I should have my stock ballast wires (and what ones) hoked into the MSD. The car is a 69 Valiant.

int timing is at 15*. thats what they ran it on the dyno at.

Didn't start doing it till after i installed the MSD box.

Ill dig a bit deeper this week, see if i find some wiring that isnt right. Its odd to me that it helped, but most likely just a band aid to the real issue.

stock charging system, only other wiring I have is the headlight relay from crack back and the MSD box.

So Awesome!

Anyone run into engine run-on with MSD digital 6AL? The fix in the instructions say to wire in a duel ballest resistor (see link, page 8). Just did this on my set up and right now its workin. 408, Mallory Unilite, MSD digital 6AL, MSD coil. **Different car than the one I was asking help with...

Well, it wasnt the voltage regulator....I'll try some more tomorrow.

The alt tested good (including the diodes). The voltage regulator failed when I turned on the accessories, so ill try another cheap china VR, well find out this afternoon.

Ill run up to the parts store and have the alt checked out today.

Replaced the VR because of not charging the battery. The low beam filiments broke (lights were only a month or so old). Why do I suspect the VR caused the lights to blow: ON starting up after the new VR was installed the lights got really really bright then both went out.

It didnt puls before i changed the VR, could a bad VR have done something to harm the alt.?

It is the triangle 2 prong plug, Alt is square back. old VR is not in the car and the balast resistor is bypassed.

Previous owner changed the ignition and voltage regulator in my 67 Barracuda. It has a HEI GM type coil on the fender and the 70 up voltage regulator. My issue: I had to replace the voltage regulator, got one from local autoparts store. After installing I ran the car, I belive the new VR was...

After some research, I might go with the hidden GM module inside the box:

So im getting together some ignition parts for an upgrade. Car is a 67 Barracuda, wanting to go Mopar style electronic ignition. I have the magnetic pickup distributor ( New stock looking from Summit). im reading some not so good things about the new Orange box, what is the better way to go...

Can you in box me a picture and price?

Looking for power steering pump and small block V8 brackets for 69. I'm assuming I can get the lines new. Thanks.

Looking over the block (77 360) I noticed something a bit odd, see picture #1. It became more prominent after I hot tanked it, see picture #2. My best guess is a weld repair before it was machined .030 over.

I was pretty sure it wasn't ment to go together telling him about my 408, but I didn't have any facts to back it up. Thanks!

Something I overheard the other day: This guy was talking about using a 4" stroker crank with 6.123 rods but with regular .030 over pistons in a .030 over 360. I know there is a reason they make "stroker" pistons, but would this guys idea even work or would it just smash the pistons into the valves?

I got it, thanks all.

Thank for th input and info MATTAX. The reason I get same voltage reading on alt and battery is the Ammeter bypass I did.

"No idea how or why you could smoke the regulator that way" I Hooked it to a 12 volt source. Maybe the wires for the ballast are less. Ill hook it up like you guys have stated after work today.
