    Mopar electronic conversion epic fail.

    I had a whole bunch of that, so I'm going through my connections and making sure they're clean and tight. I also noticed that some of the original conversions used a 1.25 ohm resistor instead of a 1.7. I may try that as well. Might as well open up the FSM and read the wiring diagrams. I mean...

    Mopar electronic conversion epic fail.

    I wanted to and buy an MSD box. But I talked myself into a Mopar conversion system. My wife says the car is trying to tell me something as well. I believe there's a tiny issue causing a bigger problem.

    Mopar electronic conversion epic fail.

    It's a pre-wired loom and the distributor lead only goes in one way. No to the plugs but I have pulled the secondary wore from the coil. When it sparks, it's weak and orange.

    Mopar electronic conversion epic fail.

    I checked that too at vendors request. It was around 220 or so ohms. He also had me tighten up the air gap to .006 That's when I got a weak secondary spark and the car started but ran like crap. It also wouldn't restart easily Replaced the electronic distributor with the point unit and she...

    Mopar electronic conversion epic fail.

    FYI. I'm using the "High RPM" kit as well. The starter relay is new and from the same vendor as the high rpm kit. The ballast is 1.8, that's what he sent. Later cars used a 4 pole double ballast. I know you can convert lean burn but it's different than a 66 The vendor can't figure it out either...

    Mopar electronic conversion epic fail.

    I check and reset the initial every time with a timing light. That's the weird part Cbody67. With the engine off and the key on, I have 11.9 volts at the ecu plug. with the engine running I have 14.53. Now as you may surmise, I'm not running the electronic system, but that's the voltage. Is...

    Mopar electronic conversion epic fail.

    Yup and the guy that sold me the conversion package said either resistor will work. Just so you know, I checked both resistors and the oem is 2.0 and the aftermarket is 1.9 I have a.o1 variance in the VOM so 1.9 and 1.8 My car runs great with the points and the stock resistor it's had for just...

    Mopar electronic conversion epic fail.

    halifaxhops When I try to run the electronic system I have little or no fire at the secondary. I need at least 8.5 volts for coil+ to ground, and I have 5-6 volts with the key on. With the points system I have 10.1 volts

    Mopar electronic conversion epic fail.

    Ballast resistor is the same as points. Both test 1.7-1.8 Timing verified and advance has nothing to do with the voltage drop I'm experiencing

    Mopar electronic conversion epic fail.

    Ecu is grounded with blind rivet nuts plus ground strapped to engine. Unpainted case also acts as ground. Initial was set to factory spec.

    Mopar electronic conversion epic fail.

    Last month I purchased a Mopar electronic ignition conversion package from a very reputable seller. It is NOT a proform kit. I installed it according to the very good instructions and the car wouldn't fire.| It would fire right back up when I reinstalled the points distributor. On a whim I...

    1966 Polara 500 Ragtop

    This weekend I removed the carburetor and gave it a good cleaning. It was time. Unfortunately, I ran into a snag. The accelerator pump op-rod took flight into another dimension, probably to hang out with everyone's missing 10 mm sockets. I have a couple parts carburetors coming and maybe...

    For Sale Wiper arms

    I have a pair of Trico wiper arms for sale that were removed from a 1966 Polara. They'd probably fit other slabbies too. Spring tension is good. 20 bucks, includes freight in the continental US.

    Exactly What Wheels & Tires Fit C Bodies?

    I don't know about the backspacing, but the rims fit perfectly. The fronts are 14x6 Ansen sprints drilled in a 4.5 bolt pattern. Tires are 225/70/14 Rears are 15x7.5 ET unilugs with 255/60/15s. Most of the rake is from the rear tire diameter and the 1" arched ESPO springs.

    I will miss both him and Rip. :(

    1966 Polara 500 Ragtop

    Love, LOVE these tires! So quiet compared to the Hankooks! Better handling and a better ride! Almost no air in the shocks. Rake is from tire diameter and springs.

    WANTED Manual seat adjusters 66 Polara.

    I'm looking for a used pair of manual seat adjusters for the driver's side bucket on a 66 Polara. Part #s should be 2583139 for the inner and 2583141 for the outer. I hadn't checked with what's his name out east yet. but I thought I'd throw it against the wall.

    Power seat rebuilder(s)

    I used to have information on a company that rebuilt power seat assemblies for older cars. Unfortunately, I've lost it. Anyone? Thanks!
