before I'm confident in going across the United States, per say, I need to feel good about the fuel system and electronic ignition system he used to set this up. For ignition he used one of those ebay ready to run HEI distributors/coil from china. Thought about points, and the coil that doesn't need a ballast resistor.

If you haven't noticed, electronics are not my strong suit :D

I have similar on my Ford truck. I got the real GM style HEI big cap distributor. It just doesn't make sense to get something bastardized. With the others, you're stuck with that Holden/whateverthehellitis module that no one has locally. At least with the big cap stuff, everybody has it. So far, it's surpassed the five year mark flawlessly.

Have towing on all my cars.... 4 bucks every 6 months.. LOL. I bring tools, but I have to feel confident. Took the '77 RC on a 9 state, almost 4k mile tour and it went perfect! Then up to the U.P. a couple months ago, only replaced a wiper bushing. But we did our homework on the old girl before we ever left.

The inertia switch is power in, power out to the pump and ground. Or you could make the ground switched. It'll never know the difference.

  • Pull a trailer and motorcycle?? NOPE, ain't happen'n
  • yep, you did, went through your truck... engine, tires, etc etc... before taking a one way trip. I did too, same project as you on my wife's RC
 
Just remember no matter what you carry with you the only thing that will fail is what you don't have. Murphy's Law.
 
You can pull a brand new car off the showroom floor and it could break down... One thing in life there's no guarantees...

To pump or not to pump
that there be the question.

Than fly to a part store that we
know not where it be?

With this regard the currents at high elavation are airy.

And to lose the name of pump action.
Go forth on your size 14s into the darkness.

But wait the part of me that doth plans, fails me not.
In the container of my forsightedness is that which I desire.

My salvation in the darkness of night.
The answer that will propel me forward.

The holy grail. My spare pump.
 
I’ve put 2 Holley blue pumps on my 2001 Ram 2500. Diesel. First pump lasted 6 months and about 10,000 kilometres. 2nd pump 7 years and 120,000 kilometres. Lots of kilometres in -40 weather. Kim
