Anyone!?!

So I was mistaken. I took the plate out and my total is at 58!! But it does run a lot better however my buddy while driving behind me said the smoke seemed a little worse than before. Not really sure what to do or think! 58 seems like it is just way to much! What do you think?

I have vacuum advance. And the only way I've checked it is with my digital timing light. Since I use my vacuum advance I leave it connected when checking my total which comes all in around oh I wanna say about 1500 because I put in the lighter springs in my distributor. And just to be specific I...

My total timing used to be at 42 degrees when I had my initial set at 16. So a few months ago I put in a plate that makes my total set at 32 with my initial at 16. But as I read numerous posts it sounds like most guys seem to think if you can get away with that much advance without pinging then...

My alternator in park and while driving seems to have a good charge at 14.05 volts. But while at a light in drive it drops to 12 volts and if I have my fan on or headlights on it drops to about 10.5 volts. I have a stock style distributor with a pertronix set up in it and a msd digital 6 box and...

Do you know what that small purple wire might be?

So after taking a better look at my relay, all that is connected to the big post is my alternator and starter and a thin purple wire. Then the screw below that has the other wire that goes to my starter then the 2 male slip fitting at the bottom have 1 wire going to each one but I don't know...

So you're saying to bypass the ammeter then just run a new wire from the alternator to the relay and leave everything else alone? Because right now I have 2 wires connected to the 1 post on my alternator and then 1 field wire. So if I run a new wire to the relay, do I have to remove either of...

I really appreciate the patience and help. It's just electrical has always been a little intimidating to me. So let me get this straight, after I bypass the ammeter and connect the black and red wire on the other end, does that plug into the same post as the battery on the relay? And does the...

I read that mad artical and so I'll be checking the volts the way you explained but considering my bulk head connector looked the same as in that artical (melted where the main power wire is) I'm going to drill through it the way they explained and bypass the ammeter. For some reason I remember...

I could have sworn that last time I had my dash apart the ammeter wasn't even hooked up! I'll have to check that out again. I'm running the square back design right now and my idle speed is around 800 rpm. The wires that connect to the alternator are the ones I replaced. And only upgrades as far...

So I have been reading up on many post so to save confusing myself I figured I'd start a new thread. My problem is that my volts drop to about 12 when I'm in drive at idle but instantly jump when I give it gas. With my headlights on the volts drop to 9-10 and my electric gauges start bouncing...

so I have always been told that if you have an MSD box that you don't need a ballast resistor, is this true? cause I want to do the same conversion to the electronic regulator since my charging is doing the same thing with the dim light situation but dont know how I should rewire it. Should I...
