Yes pizzes me off how many kits have too short of a coil wire. I usually get a vented dist. cap too

 

[mopar master]

I have to many irons in the fire lol. Hoping to get on it tomorrow.

On another note how well do these cars take leds . I know my first gen Cummins hates them. Also does anyone know how this person did the tail lights

LED light strips, on a custom backer fitted inside the housing

 

[Camtron]

That looks like LED strips like mentioned above. No “hot spots” from traditional bulb placement.
I have a sequential LED taillight kit somewhere in the garage. Haven’t put it on yet but, an acquaintance from Ohio had it on his car. Worked well, looked nice.
Amazon link to the kit in question: https://www.amazon.com/United-Pacif...id=1709073406&sprefix=seqenta,aps,304&sr=8-14

Great thanks. Another thing. The car has 5x4.5 rims, has any one put newer rims from a lx car with adapters spacers

 

[mopar master]

Finally got around for some pics.

 

[mopar master]

Finally on the car. Distributor is in. Carb next

 

[mopar master]

It's up and running. Still needs new plug wires and a little tweaking but runs sooo much better already. The kids are glad to have the "Pillow" back.

Had a blow out going to check on my daughter that was in wreck with her grandma. Great morning so far. But everyone is fine. But the tire dented the door and tore off the side marker and lower rocker trim. Does anyone know where I can get them or the junk yard the best place

 

[AMC Diplomat]

Car-part.com that's some blow out to take out a sidemarker light on the fender and dent the door and rip off the lower rocker trim

 

[mopar master]

Thanks. I'll look. Yeah that's my luck. I get the worst possible outcome

there are a few Fifth Ave and Dip SE part outs online. Craigslist and FB Marketplace

 

[Camtron]

I have lower trim pieces from my fifth Ave. you can have them for whatever the shipping is for a long box/tube. They’ve been sitting in my garage storage for years.

If you need new molding clips, you can find those on eBay for like $11

I haven't had hardly any luck on line.

No problem. I’ve had enough help with parts from members on here, I’m happy to help out.

 

[mopar master]

Here it is I feel like it's been totaled.

That's not as bad as it read in your other post. That'll buff out! The door looks ok. If its dented (I can't tell by the pic) just pull the door card, insert a partially deflated football, and inflate it while it's in the door. It'll pop it out.

Edit: use this for the rubber or a mr. Clean magic eraser or an eraser wheel
