    What battery are you using in your trunk also push pull turn off.

    right now mine is in a Moroso plastic battery box vented through the floor. I have a painless solenoid to disconnect power without pulling a switch ( I know its not NHRA Legal ). just like being able to discretely disconnect power when I park the car. need to add a manual disconnect at some...

    Disconnect battery when parked?

    I installed an electronic kill switch for the same reason. I know the wiring is all good in the car, went through the harness when I put it back together and replaced a lot of it when upgrading. when I had to move the battery to the trunk I wanted a way to shut it off without opening the trunk...

    New Instrument Voltage Regulator (IVR) Idea

    I like this, Much cheaper than some of the other options ( yeah they are not a plug & play replacement , but Im ok with a little work ). this will come in handy for a 1954 Merc I am re wiring and converting to 12v. should allow me to retain the factory gauges.

    Will this distributor fit my slant 6?

    I also like the oe parts, the 4 pin module is cheap and small enough to keep a spare around. was not a fan of the petronix i installed for dad, changed the timing a ton over the points. so keeping the points in the glove box for emergencies wasn't a quick swap.

    Another fuel gauge issue

    all good suggestions and questions above. that connector is in the kick panel / under carpet ( depending on who was in there ). if all your other gauges are working. that would suggest the voltage limiter is working. a good multimeter would let you know if there is power at the sender ( make...

    HEI using the designed2drive bracket....

    I have the same set up on my Valiant. once its on the car its even harder to see it. do you have an adapter on the dist to run a newer style bolt on cap? looks pretty slick.

    318 electronic distributor

    I think I checked that when I converted it back to mechanical advance. the previous owner had it locked out. it doesn't have a vacuum advance, I was thinking that would help my mileage & drivability since its a cruiser. figured I could save this stuff for a later build.

    318 electronic distributor

    ok, so here is my dilemma. I have a 95 magnum 318 in my valiant. currently running a MSD dist & 6AL box. I have persistent miss that wont go away. pretty sure its Ignition related as I can occasionally even catch it on my timing light. I have changed the plugs, wires, cap & rotor with Zero...

    I think I have a MSD problem!?

    I would say if nothing has changed ( routing of wires ) I would check the connections, distributor cap & plugs first. but, it wouldn't be the first or last MSD box that died.

    rust on my msd distributor

    that is correct Rusty. it is not as easy on the small block in my valiant. the big block in my dart was much easier.
