Good reviews/opinions here for RF

I kinda agree and I kinda dont. I just made a habit of putting a spare box and ballast resistor in the glove box. What really screwed me up was switching to a multispark box. Now when that failed,I was walking...

One of the things almost noone ever thinks about is making sure the plugs themselves are grounded properly. I have seen the threads in the head foul up bad enough to cause a cylinder missfire. I have a tool for chasing the threads in the head,as it was a common thing on lawnmower engines,and...

YIKES! Very scary..

Well Bill I already have a nice Autometer volt meter.All guages will be Autometer. Im only missing fuel level and a speedo.

Tell me your usage,the good ,bad and the ugly. Please give a more comlete description of your electrical system as well,including any upgrades,or if it's stock. I am seeking infomation that will help in selecting the correct alternator for my application. Will be a big block,stock wiring system...

I here you on shipping. Recently ordered some tb o rings from rockauto. $1.70 part,but shipping across the border was almost $40. So lucky we have a post office right across the border. Shipping to there was $10,lol...

Lol have to think it funny on the e tape. I use nothing but. However all connections get soldered and tested before wrapping..I make sure everything is right!

Good posts here! All good advice,so Im subscribed.

I like it! Just need my speedo and I'll be a copy cat,lol. Not sure what material I''ll use,be it stainless or brushed aluminum etc. Gauges will be Autometer. Im hardcore autometer always have been...

I have a hard time finding ANYTHING not made in China these days. Where are Auto meters made? If China thier probably made in the same factory as the cheaper brands,just a higher price tag. And this is the biggest scam of the century,as we are being sold the same name brand stuff but built in...

I also favot autometer,but mostly for it's look. I've had plently of cheap gauges over the years,and most of em have been just fine.

Interesting,so Im subscribed! Look forward to a good,useable and understandable method for testing a tachs accuracy. Sorry,I've got nothing to contribute..

I just replaced the stock hei module in my 92 gmc p/u after 20 yrs of service.So yes they last a long time.It wasnt totally dead,just cutting out once in a while.

Sure pays to shop around! Currently looking for vynil plank flooring,but there's not much competition around here.

Why do you want to upgrade the alternator? Need brighter lights? A more powerfull alt isnt the way to go. Halogens connected to relay's for that..

Each application will be slightly different. A heavier vehicle like a truck will want a slower advance curve,and thus heavier spring's. For an A body which is light,most likely a light adv spring will do,but given that it's an hei dist in a mopar maybe less adv is needed?

I reject about 90% of Chinese made stuff,but there is the odd piece here and there which look's right and last's. Lordco's chinese made brake part's are crap,I'll assume it's made in a plant where a bit of this and a bit of that are thrown in the metal process becuase those china made rotor's...

Bill,would youplease provide the link for what you'r talking about?

I was wondering the same thing myself. Why not just get a good hei module and mount it up to your mopar dizzy? Like Dan said,cheaper and more reliable. But I dont know about the white box thing and a lack of faith. A plain wrapper simply lowers the end cost of the product. My new c clamp...

For one.if you want tunability go for the G.M style tbi. The tbi are plentifull and easy to install,all that is needed is the computer and wiring harness from your donor vehicle.Tuning is easier than all get up,there are downloadable tunes here ( http://www.moates.net/ ) and cheap chip burners...

Thier the same as an HEI ign. Very reliable,hot spark. Go for it.

I've been hangin on to older mopar keys,hoping they might be usefull one day.If you find a used key in good shape you could simply have the locksmith change the pins in the lock to match your "good" key. It's about a 10 minute job for a competent locksmith,if the cylinder is already out and...

No and no. I've run a 5 pin module plently of times when it calls for only 4. The aftermarket tach's are very easy to install,usually only 3-4 wires to hook up.

Yup,it's fine.Forget what the extra pin is for,possibly tach?

Subscribed! I have a few of those lean burn era distributor's, but the one I'd be most interested in modding would be from my 78 400. I'd like to use it in conjunction with a dual g.m t.b.i system, and hei ignition.

I think some of the aftermarket ministarters can be "clocked". This might help..

Do it! Well worth the swap. Saves you weight,smaller size is easier clearance for headers etc. More starting torque as well!

Lol,Doug knows first hand what the purists think of a gm part in a mopar... Myself I'll run the hei conversion as well.

I like the simplicity of hei,which as you said makes it very reliable. It's very compatible with megasquirt also,and I'll look to use it on my 451 with megasquirt and fuel inj.
