There is no rusty anything where the ECU mounts. I made sure of that five years ago when I converted from petronix to mopar ignition I did my reasearch. I used a test light to check the ground as well as my friend did the same. I understand how important grounds are, I added extra grounds when...

Friend mine came over to see if he could figure it out. He went throughout everything. He even questioned the ground. He found nothing wrong anywhere, that's why he decside what the hell and we plugged in a spare orange box ground with a jumper wire. The car fire right up, crazy. I work at...

Turned to be ECU. Mine was bad and the new one I bought was also bad. Friend of mine brought me an old orange box, the car started right up. Now to fix a few things and get to driving.

I am suspecting the distributor at this point. I took it back out to double check the gap. This was after going through everything with multi meter and jumper wires. The way the pick up is siting on the plate is attached to there is a lot of movement, which not allowing the reluctor wheel and...

Bill I do have a multi meter a Fluke to be exact. The engine is not the orginal 273. I have power where I am suppose to I am down to suspecting bulkhead, distributor and ignition switch. 67dart273 that the information I need thanks.

Well I got frustrated and mad. I pull everything apart and decisided to start rewiring for HEI. Just not sure how to wire the run, start and alternator wires with/for the HEI. Thank you for all the answers. Sorry to cause a stir.

Nothing, I am giving up for awhile. I cant seem to get anything fixed lately.

Ok parked my car for about 8 month, went out to start and it had no spark. 1964 Valiant 318 with mopar electronic ignition and electronic voltage regulator. I have checked the ignition switch, it has the correct voltage in the start and run position, I have ohm and volt check the coil, checked...

I am going to check the field circutas you described, I have mount topside of the inner fender and it had never got hot enough that you couldnt touch it anyway some more invesigating to do tomorrow before any part's purchased thanks again for the help

Sorry for not being clear. When I go into the auto parts store, I use a 78 dodge w300 for my alternator and regulator. The number is a Borg Warner R296, I have getting them from oreillys as they close to my house. I use the big trucks as they have the bigger amp alternator.

I redid the whole charging circuit, and rid myself of the bothersome amp meter. I rewired using heavy gauge wire, bypassed the bulkhead connector, famous for failure. I also installed several new grounds, from the block to firewall and from the battery negative post to radiator core support. All...

64 valiant 318 v8. With a alternator out of a 1978 w300. It's the not factory original alternator. It is the newer style alternator.

Does anybody know if they make a heavy duty voltage regulator, eletronic type. I am using a 78 amp alt and the regulators last about a year and poof go bad I have checked all my grounds and charging circut wires, and alt no problems found. I have looked and the same part number for mopar...

I converted the wife's valiant to HEI and used a Mopar electronic distributor. The mount for the distributor is slotted where it mates with the engine and it is also slotted where it mounts to distributor. Question where the mount mates to the distributor, which is slotted, how do you set that...

I am in the process of rewiring the engine compartment in my wife's 64 valiant 6 cyl / automatic. Is there any merit to Mad Electrical solution of by-passing the amp meter, and does anyone have a wiring diagram to wire a voltmeter in, or the best way to wire it in. Thoughts on upgrades or...

Thanks that's what I needed. Wiring can get confusing sometimes in the midst of modification. Thanks again.

I had an engine fire and I am starting from scratch. I have read and reread all the info on the HEI swap and I have everything ready to wire in. I am trying to figure out where to put the ignition 1 wire J2 dark blue wire and the blue field wire for the electronic voltage regulator and the...

I have picked up a pair of surgical hemostats that work really well for that task....

Suscribed....

Thanks again..........

My Initial is still at 12 and with the 11 x 2 equals 34 initial and mechanical total... Now to mess with the springs and vacuum advance....The car runs completely different much stronger...still more there........ and no ping or knock runs straight smooth.......:burnout:

Found a 11 advance stop.. Disassembled.. Major Difference... Reassembled.... installed... http://s2.photobucket.com/albums/y19/mopar65/Running/?action=view&current=IMG_0211.mp4 Running...

Thanks for this article, it will get me in the right direction.....

Just got back from the junkyard managed to score another small block distributor out of a 78 cordoba. I want to try this distributor and see if it puts me closer to where I need to be.

Thanks 67cuda360 and 67dart273 Pete

I wonder if I can get less more initial or do I go with what I have based on the fact that it starts and runs. I have messed with the timing so much I am not sure if 12.5 is enough or to much. I have to get the damper issue squared away. I need to be exact as possible I think that is where I...

So, my thinking got me in trouble. I need to control the advance amount and rate. I think I am going to weld up the slots to control how much advance I am getting, then find the best spot for initial then mechanical. So is there a formula for the length of the slot versus how much advance I...

The distributor that was in it when I ran pertronix was points distributor converted to pertronix. With that distributor the car ran fine, when I put Mopar's electronic ignition in, I found a fairly new distributor in a truck at the Junkyard. I then converted the car to Mopar with an orange box...

Ok back to square one, I will re affirm TDC on the damper and go from there....
