    If replacing alternator, which amperage?

    We worked on plenty of burned up totally OEM equipped cars in the 70's. Sit on an LA freeway under the conditions outlined and the bulkhead gets cooked. Had the alternator output at idle been sufficient to support the system in that driving condition, many of those rigs wouldn't have ended up...

    Remove wire from connector - how to

    Push the wire into the connector, use a scribe/really small paperclip to release the tab. Lisle makes a multi tool to release a lot of these connectors, 56500 Sometimes there is a ledge/lip inside the connector where that lock tab sit, keeps it locked in place.

    Msd 6AL key power, no crank power

    IIRC, there shouldn't be any open circuit in the mopar plug if you disconnect the power coming in from ballast and the neg coil wire Using MSD, only wires going to coil should be the one from your box. None of the factory wires attach.

    Larger alternator amp/volt gauge help

    Hook the red and black wires together under the dash. A machine screw and nylock nut work well. Stack the terminals so the wires line up and put the nut on that side too. Makes a thinner set up, wrap/insulate/shrink tube it. The voltmeter needs a ground and a switched/keyed feed to work...

    Supercross

    Figures those idiots put the races on peacock. LOL Interesting to see the euro bikes coming back into MX. I remember when the Ducks were entering in US roadracing/superbike in the early 90's. Most doubted the effort. Didn't take long for them to start winning.

    1970 GTX 440 Timing

    Advancing timing in most situations is fine to get better idle quality and throttle response. The book numbers are garbage in most cases as they weren't optimized to performance, a crutch to meet emissions. You have to be careful advancing idle timing as it moves you total timing number up the...
