Have been able to road test my car since getting it running with the Rick Ehrenberg system, have it set at 10 base timing and 34 at 3000, pulled plugs all of them are pure white, and the car has a foul smell while driving, I think it is running very lean. how would the timing effect the engine...

I just installed one of Rick's High- Rev 7500 dist. kit and matching coil. Kit comes with all wiring need to convert from points to a Mopar type ignition system. I had some minor issues , spoke with Rick, he troubled shoot with me over the phone, was finally able to get my 69 318 Cuda running. I...

seemed like this did not post.

Ok , can finally say I GOT IT RUNNING!!, checked the engine timing marks on the lower pulley it matched up 100% as far as TDC, got #1 up to 10 deg. before TDC, installed the dist. started with #1 , made sure firing order was correct, used die electric grease on the terminal ends of the spark...

Ok, I just spoke with Rick at Rick's Mopar, we did some trouble shooting over the phone, I removed the coil wire and cranked the engine over, which took care of that issue,[ engine jam] he feels also that the timing is to far advanced, so he said I should start at the beginning, old school make...

I am replacing my ignition switch on my 69 Cuda, 69 is one year only, old switch does not have a contact for a ground wire, new switch has a separate contact for a ground wire, is this needed ?

Ok, I have an update, heard back from Rick at Rick's Mopar, asked if that I had power on both the crank [ brown wire] and run [ blue wire] again I am surprised even thought I had power for crank with the Pertronix system I just had in the car, and it would start , NOW I have ZERO power on the...

I will grab some photos, I did have the timing marks on the engine at 10 deg. before, marked where the point of the rotor was facing , and dropped the new dist. the same way. Did not have the cranking issue with the Pertronix unit, it did at least get the car to start, but just could not keep...

Have been chasing my tail on my 69 Barracuda, 318, auto, have posted other questions. Last installed was a Pertronix Distributor with there Ignitor II module and there correct coil, [ no resistor, full power to the coil and dist, per there directions] with that I was able to have car start, but...

Thank you for the photos, I see you have the Ignitor II installed in what looks like a OEM Mopar dist., I have the Pertronix unit dist. with the Ignitor II installed and on the center shaft , a white/transparent , plastic item that covers the armature of what the module would ride against ...

any information?

Can anyone supply a photo of the inside of a Pertronix Ignitor II dist. , is there a whiteish cover over the center shaft that is the trigger point for the module? The person at tech. support, said that there should be one, however I am having so many problems with mine, I will pull it out and...

Ok, my friend was not able to come over, so before he left, he told me to pull the dist. cap and ohm the wires, and pull out the plugs so the next time he comes over we can do a compression test. So the next day I pulled the cap, checked the spark plug wires from the inside of the cap to the...

Ok, had my buddy come over again, spent about 2 hours, we redid the solid steel line from the fuel pump to carb. I was so sure that the kink in the steel line, that my local shop installed was going to be the problem. Replaced with fuel line hose, local Auto Zone did not have any correct size...

Have a set of NGK plugs loaded with carbon build up,[ poor ignition power], have used a wire brush to remove most of the build up. need to clean out, up inside the cone area. looking for way with base items [ not sand blaster] simple hand tools, cleaners.

thank for all of your ideas, I too was leaning towards a fuel problem, but with 2 carbs. and the older unit was a working unit. however, when Professor Fate talked about fuel restriction, I had the local, shop that I take the car to for state inspection replace the hard fuel line from pump to...

Have been chancing my tail on my 318 engine not running correctly. Had a well known Mopar engine rebuilder[Wayne Hyrowick] rebuild my engine ,Keith Black #167 pistons, .30 over , Hastings Piston rings, 30 over, Comp Cam 20-223-3 and matching springs, lifters, alum. intake, 4 barrel Holley carb...

Update on running issue. where to start!, ok have installed the replacement Ignitor II module in the Pertronix dist. as per the directions. Again there is no ballast inplace.,Replaced the spark plug with new Champion RJ14yc plugs, Car will now start, will run for about 20-30 sec. then start to...

As stated, I have the Pertronix, system no ballast resister is used/needed needs full voltage, will check coil temp. and NO I DO NOT KEEP THE KEYON IN THE RUN POSTION AND ENGINE NOT RUNNING. The coil Pertronix calls for, only has .6ohms resistance.

Thank you all for your replies, as far as the gap for the module in the Pertronix dist. on the Ignitor II there is no adjustment, there is no slot where you screw the Ignitor II to mounting plate inside of the Pertronix dist. As stated there is only a red and black wire to hook to the coil can...

Have taken a beak with my no run problem. To date I have checked for power at all times for ignition 1&2 , have replaced the ignition Pertronix II unit the Pertronix distributor, have the correct new coil for the Ignitor II , that Pertronix calls for. replaced spark plug wires, inc. coil wire...

Not A Happy Camper ! Ok the latest, received the replacement Pertronix II module, was missing the thermal paste that you need to put on the module before you install it. Did some checking was able to buy some at Best Buy, installed module not real hard but you do need to pull the dist...

Yes I put in the Flame Thrower coil in, however , when I 1st installed the Pertronix dist. I tried it with my old high output coil, so I may have damaged the Pertronix unit inside to of the dist. I am going to replace the Pertronix unit inside the dist. at this point we do not what else to try ...
