You're correct, it's an old GM (Holden) HEI module. I ditched the cheap distributor and went with a Pertronics unit. It's still acting up occasionally. At this point, my best assumption is that I'm losing my 12 volt primary feed to the coil. Gonna chase the wires down and see if I've got a...

Well, the saga continues, and I'd like your advice. It acted up again. I've gone through the entire fuel system again, including all carb adjustments. All good. I ordered a new ignition module, installed it, and it acted up again today, but the symptom changed a bit. Steady throttle, 3000 or so...

Well, I was wrong about it being “fixed”, as it acted up once again. I’ve finally found the real problem, which I apparently created myself, and have fixed it. I embarrass myself here in the hope that it helps someone in the community. I WAS RUNNING THE WRONG COIL! Anyone choosing to use a...

Fix O Rama! Ignition issue cleared up with a new (and complete) distributor cap. Still tinkering with timing and carb a little. Where do you guys normally run your initial timing advance? I’m running about 12 degrees right now.

Well, Charlie Brown strikes again!! Why do we always seem to overthink things??? The button that transfers spark from the inside of the cap to the rotor is GONE! It’s arcing from the spring to the rotor. That would probably explain issue ‍♂️ More next week, after the new cap and rotor!

All rubber fuel line sections replaced. Plugs show normal wear and ideal fuel mixture. Voltage regulator is solid with 14.5-15 volts at all times. I did have way too much timing in it. Reset timing to around 14 degrees at idle. It still does it. When it acted up in the past, because I thought it...

I’m still going back and forth between fuel and ignition issues, as I’ve never had an ignition issue before that “felt” like a fuel issue. I’m unfamiliar with the Procomp distributor that’s on it, but I understand they’re primarily Aussie designed units with a built in module. When it acts up...

I'm not a fan either. I've never (knock on wood) had an issue with Mom Mopar's Electronic Ignition, but I understand the new ones available today are cheaper than they used to be from a quality standpoint. The Procomp is a direct wire to the coil, and there is no ballast resistor.

Picked up an 80 Dobi last weekend for my Son. He's entering an Auto Mechanics class at the local Tech High School next year. It'll be perfect for him! 100,000 miles, 318, buckets/console car. Interior is baked from the sun, so plenty of unobtainium parts to find! Solid frame, a little rust...

Been awhile since I updated things. It's been a long, interesting year, getting the Red Baron to where I want her. Learned a lot, met a lot of new friends, and yes, cursed a lot too! Ive gone through everything, front to back, one at a time. Many weekends cleaning things up and replacing...

Beautiful Dippy! A long overdue WELCOME from a fellow 2 dr M body guy!

Need a little help here. 79 Lebaron, stock rebuild 360. Lean Burn delete. Running an Edelbrock AVS2 4 bbl on a stock intake (Motor and parts have maybe 2000 miles on them). The shop that did the engine swap (before my time) installed what I believe to ba a Procomp 7000 series distributor. It's...

I have a 79 M with a 904. Stupid question, but is it possible that if the lockdown linkage is adjusted incorrectly, it can cause the trans fluid to leak from the bell housing area? If an thing, I've got it "over-adjusted"

For right radius bends, I fill the line with fine play sand. It keeps the line from collapsing and is easily cleaned out after you make the bends.
