Oh yeah, I fogot to mention I replaced my voltage regulator a couple years ago with the a newer style that was readily available at a local parts store. I had a few original style voltage regulators that needed That is an important thing to mention. It would be nice to collect all of this great...
I lucked out and found and installed a used 1972 electronic distributor with a vaccuum advance. Thanks guys! The HEI seems to be working pretty good. The one Wollfen posted has two sets of wires... im guessing one set must be for the electronic advance.
I put a new rug in my car ( 4 door) and am trying to find the hole for the seatbelt mounts on the front closest to the door (both sides on the outside of the seat). I'm also trying to remember where the back seat bolts down. Anybody have some pics?
Thanks guys. It looks like I'll just get the older distributor with all the guts in it that can work with the vacuum advance....otherwise I would do what wildaugust did if i had a 318 electronic non-Lean Burn distributor.
I have made the conversion to a GM HEI electronic spark, everything seems to be working OK. However, the electronic distributor I have installed has no vaccuum advance.
I've noticed that the 1981 lean burn distributor is much simplified, with no centrufical advance weights, and has one pick...

I do have an old hood pull cable that I was thinking of using, has anybody tried that? I know Lokar sells cables too, but I don't mind keeping a secret about where the parts came from when I bring the car to Pebble Beach :lol:
I know If I had the money to have the poly rebuilt I definitely wouldn't be doing the swap. I wish I was someone who collected cars and just drove them on the weekend or something but this is my only car. need to get back on the road before summer's over and I lose my mind..and everything else...
I'm swapping out the Poly for an LA 318 in my 66 Fury, I was thinking of modifying the bracket that bolts onto the intake so that I can use my original kickdown linkage. Maybe I could cut the bottom of the Poly bracket off and weld on the bottom of the LA bracket... or just replace the linkage...
I would like to replace my 66 poly 318 with a 1970 or 71 LA 318 from a challenger. I Know that the 1966 727 transmission is the last year with a 19 spline input. I would like to know if I can use the flexplate from the poly on the LA 318 motor ( which had a 24 spline input on a 904 transmission)...
I'm getting spray up through the carb, as before the car is backfiring through the carb.... before I replaced the carb it did this too and started a little fire...maybe signs are pointing to a valve problem here?
I am contemplating a swap to a 1976 225 slant 6 and 904 trans just to get her back...
