I like the Pertronix Ignitor II. From what I read; it has better circuitry than the Ignitor I so it doesn't have the issue with failing if the ignition is left on. I have points in one car, Pertronix in another, and Chrysler Electronic (old USA built) in the third and they all start and run...

Thank you! I did not see them in the FB ad (Brooklyn, NY). @69CoronetRT should be very happy to see the tags, build sheets, and order sheets. Look forward to hearing more about the recovery process. For the 1972 NYer, you may find my Buttercup restoration page and the 1972 Chrysler Thread useful.

Absolutely I’ll have them home Tuesday we are having a snow event today and tomorrow ugh

Congrats @straightjob -- glad to know that those cars are in your good hands. When you have a chance to post the fender tags and initial order sheets, could you please do so? Look forward to hearing more about them.

They are time capsules have all the dealer paperwork and buil sheets

Found a guy to make the IG keys!

if you have time/interest a 15 min. realistic animation/movie of a real event. Allied bombing of Bremen, Germany. Bombing of Bremen in World War II I cant imagine being a 20 year old bomber gunner, or any of those guys, in this fight. let alone what happened to the tail gunner in this B-17...

Thanks Guys!

That is true, but as 3175375 says, the bigger problem I have is the fact that we rely heavily on selling our resources abroad to keep our economy afloat, instead of building up a manufacturing base. At least with the Japanese cars there are American workers being paid to assemble them. It was...

Looks like my power steering pump is different from the original in the manual. I don’t see a spot for the T shaped bumper. But that is OK. I am considering this project a win. Took the car to a cars and coffee this morning and everything just felt better. A successful project that I didn’t...

Steel head gaskets seal just fine put on dry, but the paint won't hurt. Yes use the thin gasket. And if you replace pistons don't get 8:1 compression, it will make it more of a dog than it is now.

Hi Evetyone I'd like to convert my 65 Newport to electronic ignition. Anyone out there who recommend what type system to get. Want to make conversion as discreet as possible. More reliable than retaining points I hear, better starting etc ? Thanks Tim

But the profit goes to the country that owns the marquee…. That’s the beef that I have with foreign companies that assemble their vehicles here. The profits leave us…

That's a onion to peel, there. Some of our 'American' cars are made in Mexico, and some of our Japanese cars are made in the US. Regardless of where they are assembled, the components come from everywhere.

Thanks guys, and thanks again @Davea Lux I'll try those tests. Didn't even think to test with the multimeter like that. Electrical work isn't any stranger to me, but too many times I forget the basics.

I had a similar issue on my New Yorker where the gauge moved a bit but didn't seem realistic. I slid the cable off of the sensor and cleaned up the contact points on the connector on the cable and the sensor, reinstalled and then it started registering right in the middle of the gauge when it...

IIRC those wheels were used on wagons (sometimes), we've discussed them on here a few times on here over the years.

Did something similar with my oil pressure gauge. Grounded the wire to the block with key off, turned key on. Pointer swung all the way across. Turn off again. Repeat several times, then reconnect. It read much better after that - I guess the "exercise" must have knocked something loose. I find...

I'd say the first thing to make sure it is wired properly. Hard to tell without seeing it in person, but that doesn't sound right.
