Not in the Polara as that has the HEI from years back that I showed here. Although when I had issues with the Pertronix II maybe it was the coil. I was out taking a drive in my Cougar before it got closed up in a garage with two cars behind it waiting on engines. Everything went fine for 17...

Not in my Polara but the Mercury. I was working on cleaning up the power window motor on the passenger side. I wanted to see it in action with the panels off to see why slow. So I connected the battery and nothing from it's switch. I then tried the main switch and got nothing. I then decided to...

Last weekend I swapped the 73 Polara and the 67 Park Lane around so I could get the Polara out today, gas it up, and take a drive. Started no issue and only ran it a few minutes then. So this morning started the car up without issues ready to go. So going to a gas station 1.5 miles away is...

I was just outside pulling my plugs to re-gap them and I started to think about the washer on the end of the spark plug. I don't know why it dawned on my. Probably because I know Ford didn't use them for my cars but they were in use here. I don't know if that is correct. Google is useless and...

So after a week gathering the parts I needed I spent the last two days putting the HEI ignition together. Pulled (in) power from the starter relay over to pin 30 on a Tyco relay. Ground out of pin 85. Trigger, from coil brown wire, to pin 86. Power out from pin 87 feeding two 14 gauge wires into...

I did mention a few weeks back after my long drive the car wouldn't start the next day. Checked the coil and it was in specs. So I pulled the Ignitor II out and put in an untouched spare. Car started up right away. Great, so I took it out for a 40 mile drive. Next morning it wouldn't start...

Ever have a spark plug work itself loose and then exit it's location while moving at 65 mph? Oh, was that an experience on the freeway. Luckily lightly traveled one.

I'm curious about type not make. Such as copper vs platinum vs iridium. Reason being there has been a long discussion on my Focus forum about swapping out the Motorcraft platinum for copper due to greater conduction of the spark. Platinum lasts longer but copper conducts better and the...

So I have managed to get the wheel and top section off the column to lift the turn signal switch out of the way. I am now looking at the steering wheel lock and the FSM which says to use a special tool to remove a pin. WTH, as in who has that particular tool? Short of having that tool what else...

I just finished spending 2 1/2 hours washing the Dodge. Started right up to move into a better location for washing only. When done started the car again to warm up so I could check the transmission oil which I knew would be a little low. While running the engine shut itself off twice during...

I have had my car since 2009 and have never killed the battery. Well last night I was putting on the air cleaner after painting it. I opened the door for the remote hood release, closed it, turned around and then turned back when I said to myself why didn't the interior lights go on? Opened the...
