    AAW harness with CD box and the plugs do not fire...HELP!!

    When the rebuilt engine was put into my '68 Barracuda, the original harness was still in place and it was adapted by the mechanic to work with the MSD 6425 CD ignition box. I carefully removed the front and under dash harnesses as part of a complete replacement of the car's wiring. The kit I...

    Capacitor Discharge (CD) Ignition?

    I used a Summit Racing 850027 distributor with a MSD 6AL (#6425) in the 318 block used to build my 392 stroker. The MSD distributors are much more expensive so I am happy with my decision. FYI, I originally had acquired a MSD Stacker 7000 box long before getting the distributor but that was a...

    MSD Box Location Pictures?

    That looks sharp and very inconspicuous. I had wondered about doing that but was concerned about leakage from the battery. I guess the sealed cell is the way to go for this application. I think mine will find its way to the same place when it comes time for installation...

    AM Radio reception fades in in and out

    You are correct in that FM is line-of-sight. This is why travelling up and down through hills results in sporadic loss of FM (and cell phone) coverage due to the shadowing by the topography. As for AM, it tends to travel long distances by "Tropospheric ducting", via the atmospheric layer...

    Starter? Coil? Bad ground?

    The least expensive starter blanket from Summit is $17.95. The part number is SUM-350118. Given the addition of the "pick fee" and shipping, it may be cheaper to inquire locally in your area unless you are getting a bulk order.

    Engine Noise through stereo

    Your point is valid and my solution was from an actual application where a new radio was installed into a gas vehicle that never had one previously. Noise only came through the radio when the engine was running. When the engine was stopped, the noise was gone when the radio was operating...

    Engine Noise through stereo

    Power line filters are helpful but never underestimate the value of using a very heavy ground strap and making a solid, clean connection to the firewall. Poor ground connections are always a major nuisance in any electrical application (automotive or otherwise) and they are frequently...
