I didn’t mean to single you out. Just in general on restorations and all the paint daubs. I’ve been buying and selling Mopars of late 60’s to early 70’s and saw many original paint and assembled cars. A lot of the A and B body cars had terrible panel fitment, especially the fenders to the door...

Awesome car! Keep at it… I’m doing the same. I don’t understand replicating sloppy assembly line graffiti, but to each his own. My Charger and wagon both have paint hangers (runs) on the firewall and there’s no way I’d want to copy that.

I’ll probably go for a new distributor as it’s the original and the car has 120,000 miles on it. I will shop around though. Thanks!

Thanks! I don’t have an Amazon account but know a few that do. I’ll have to check on the distributor… $427 at Summit.

The link was to Summit. They have it at $60. But like everything else since 2021, prices have doubled.

That one looks pretty good, although you have to get their coil to go with I’m assuming. Being that it’s just for a daily driver I don’t want to go to crazy on the upgrade. And it’s the only low deck engine I have. I guess you bypass the ballast. I do wish they had a wiring diagram in the...

I put one of them in my Charger… back in ‘85. It was all USA made back then. Pretty sure it was Direct Connection though.

Interesting. I see they even have one for the low deck. I forgot to say it’s for the 383 in my daily. I guess you buy GM HEI plug wires for it?

What’s the newest? What are you guys using recently? I’ve done a few 70’s type external 5 pin (4 on the later) conversions. And while they work good, it’s a lot of wiring and installation work. Are the HEI kits any good? Thanks!

They were great when that’s all we had. But I don’t miss them. A lot of money and the space they take up.

I’ll try to make it next year!

Yeah… $10k wouldn’t cover a hood. :)

Were you the high bidder?

It only takes two guys that want something to jack the price. Probably just a bad day. There’s also a big difference between the 1st and 2nd gen as far as interest from non Mopar guys. A 440 ‘68-‘70 would probably have gone higher.

Idk… he was a special guest in the parade, in a ‘65 Impala SS convertible. And some jealous individual threw a water balloon in the car. I’d be slightly pissed as well! :)

I like it!

My Charger and ‘Cuda didn’t have them when I bought the cars back in the 80’s. I just adjusted the idle speed to 750 RPM. Chrysler set the idle at 1000 RPM on the 440 Six Pack for lower emissions at idle speed. But it was so high the engines would diesel sometimes. So the solenoid held it there...

Welcome aboard! It’s a beautiful car!
