What ignition system are you using?

An old MP conversion set with chrome box. Like this. I have a few kits left but are the orange box ones. And have new individual extra orange, chrome and gold boxes. Never really had one go bad through. Old NOS boxes were made well. I bought way to much cheap in my younger days.
I will just manualy turn the timing back for the NOS.
My wife will not let me buy new stuff when we have good old stuff. Or sell stuff as she says we may need it one day. It is not eating food, just sits and waits.

That is a good sized wire you have going from the alternator to the battery area. How big is your alternator?

Yeah, it's overkill, but it was included in the American Autowire harness, so I used it. It's a 65A Denso alternator.
 
@jbc426 Is that air cleaner an off the shelf, or custom made? I have committed to cowl , but haven’t gotten the air cleaner part nailed down yet.
Mines a 68, wanted an overflow/catch can for the radiator, but didn’t want to see it. (But I didn’t want it inaccessible either.) just the cap shows, I mounted the tank under the fender forward of the tire.
Stroked 5.9, Trick Flow heads, Sniper, TTI, HEI ignition, Griffin radiator
Light and horn wiring are in PVC pipe up under the front fender.
Still a work in progress, so some stuff not in its proper place.

I sourced it from these guys (see link below). They have nice quality products too. If you've ever opened the cabin cowl vent on the highway, you should be aware of the high pressure air that collects in the cowl vent structure.

My passenger side vent was sealed off when I installed my Vintage Air Gen IV evaporator, but the driver's side vent is still functional. My grandsons love it when I open it up, because the intake noise from the 408 Magnum sounds great piped directly into the cabin.

 
IF IVE EVER OPENED IT? I used to live in Florida, I just took the doors right off.

Where'd you get the adaptor kit for the 2004R transmission? What converter do you use with that set up? Will it work with my 440/505 stroker motor or only small blocks? I had a 1965 Barracuda that color. Beautiful car!
 
Here's my 440/505" stroker motor in my '68 Dart. Heater delete by previous owner. Battery in the trunk. Helps it wheel stand at the track I guess. :lol:

A pic of my Duster, I have since changed the air-cleaner, to a factory 1970 one, soon to ditch the aluminum radiator for a stock one, with shroud.
