I just lost my drivers side skirt off the back of my car. Its a 65 plymouth fury 3 and im looking for any odeas on who or where might have some to buy to replace it. Any help would be great

That was exactly what I was thinking :) out with the old pain in the butt ign with points and go Electronic

yes it has points and ill check them again but I looked at em yesterday and they looked fine n clean. but I did just look at the distributor itself and I think my bushings are shot I have about an inch of up n down play in it

Hmmm well then I wonder if I just got a bum coil it happens. worked for a few minutes and then something went poof in it. Guess ill be hitting Napa again tomorrow when they open up for another coil and ballast resistor and see what it does. Thanks again for the help. Its only been just over 6...

Yea im pretty sure its the ballast resistor I watched it smoke away when I connected the turned on the ignition to check for power at the ballast on both sides and then to coil and by the time I hit the coil positive with the test light the ballast was smoking. Im just using a stock coil I...

OK I had a coil go bad and it took out my Ballast resistor. Changed both and had the spark and engine going for a few. Now the ballast resistor is shot again. I've tracked the wires and didn't find any breaks or grounds anywhere. I am wondering if there is an easy way to see if the Distributor...

ohh yeah that could be my problem lol when I pulled the distributor to get it un gummed all I did was use a straw haha go figure ive been working on it off n on n if that is my problem lol that would kind of figure in to my luck lol

Ok so Ill pull Number 1 in the morning and slide a straw down n in it to see when its at the top n make sure the rotors pointing to it Thanks again everyone ill let yas know how it goes

Yea I kinda figure something was missing so I came to the Greatest Experts I know and here we are :)
