I have to disagree with mosey on this. I've never had to drill out any pop rivets to remove the motors. Lord knows I've done enough of them. In fact, I don't recall even seeing any in there. But I've been wrong before.
I hope you get well soon!

Javier, would this be considered an Upgrade from our OE electronic distributor? Or an aftermarket equal replacement? If an upgrade! Where’d ya get it?
Couldn’t resist....
Went by the shop to drop off some parts. Here’s some pictures of the roadrunner in for reassembly.
Rust in the lower corners of the rear window now gone.
Also had some rust in the roof And door bottoms.
All gone.

First, get well. Second, I guess I hallucinated when I drilled out the pop rivets holding the regulator on both doors of my 78 coupe. See photos below which show the 1/4 inch bolts that replaced the three pop rivets. The FSM for 78 also mention that you had to do that to remove the regulator.

Sorry.... didn't do that with mine. Never even paid attention to them. Never saw them. Didn't need to.
Sure, maybe the regulator had been removed before. Oh well, I now have to fix the major oil leak on my 78. Sure is frustrating trying to get this one somewhat runable! Tried to take it to the painter, loaded it on the trailer and it dumped oil all over! Had to unload. Start over! I may add a Hughes Engines Whiplash cam while I have the engine out.

That's what I was thinking with those rivets.
Damn...that sucks!
Sorry to hear that. Bob @78NYB is your man for setting up your engine have you been following his thread?

Nope! It is pretty much a stock electronic ignition. The orange module is an upgrade in that it is rated for higher rpm that a stock engine should never see. It is available separately from mopar.
