    Firmfeel upper control arms worth the difference?

    Has anyone used Firmfeel upper control arms or similar products to improve positive caster? If so, was it worth it and would you do it again? My ride is a 1973 Charger, please share what vehicle you used it in.

    HEI Conversion Coil Question

    Many of us claim to know this or that that is taking place inside the combustion chamber, quite frankly I doubt many of us really know any more than the seat of our pants tells us. Even fewer of us know why one coil, ignition module, spark plug, plug wires, etc. over another really works better...

    HEI Conversion Coil Question

    Good info Dan, I appreciate the way you explain things. It seems like several folks explain things over most of the common man's understanding.

    HEI Conversion Coil Question

    Bob, Thanks for your input in this thread. As far as different manufactures for the HEI modules, I have read in other forums that not all HEI modules are created equal, while others are just rebranded from the same manufacture. I do understand that proper heat sink is critical to the life of the...

    HEI Conversion Coil Question

    Do you have a brand preference? I think mine is an Eljin TP45 from NAPA.

    HEI Conversion Coil Question

    Same subject, but different. How do you know if the HEI module is defective or damaged? 1- Either creates spark or it doesn't or 2- Develops a miss 3- Something else

    HEI Conversion Coil Question

    Would you by chance have a diagram of the 4 pin relay wiring or perhaps post a link. From what you have described may be the missing link I'm seeking.

    HEI Conversion Coil Question

    Yeah I saw your response previously posted, basically my response is simply this; Why keep the ballast resister in the loop whenever it's function is being bypassed other than the appearance of a stock look? Why not simply take the 2 feeds (start/brown & run/blue wires from the bulkhead)...

    HEI Conversion Coil Question

    You obviously are more knowledgeable concerning these matters than I, hence my asking for advice. I picked these particular diodes for the current rating, just happens to be 5 in a package. How would you arrange them, or am I barking up the wrong tree?

    HEI Conversion Coil Question

    Ballast resistor has been removed to unclutter the firewall, my thought is why have it on the firewall if it's not going to be used? As far as some thoughts on the diode, the link below is similar to what I thought of using. 5 PCS 20A10 | 1000V 1KV Axial Bridge Rectifier Diode | General Purpose...

    HEI Conversion Coil Question

    I was just curious about back feeding current if using both feeds to the coil? Any thoughts? Gues I could use some diodes to make sure the current only feeds on direction.

    HEI Conversion Coil Question

    I've done a recent 4 pin HEI module conversion to my 1973 Charger/440 and have eliminated Chrysler electronic ignition and ballast resistors. The question I have is, which circuit coming out of the bulkhead should be used to power terminal B of the HEI module, which also goes to + side of the...

    Chasing My Tail- Electrical Ignition Gremlin

    I'll print the diagram off then let you know, but to describe the relay: It looks like a flasher but is 3 spade instead of 2, it is located behind the ashtray under the dash in the general location of the blinker flasher. It gets warm to the touch generally when door is open. However, mine is...

    Chasing My Tail- Electrical Ignition Gremlin

    Thanks for the reply. Long story, but the jest of it is this engine is basically a race engine, mechanical advance only with a limiter plate in the distributor, hence the reason I trailer it to most shows (Pride for bragging rights is a terrible thing, LOL). When running works and sounds great...

    Chasing My Tail- Electrical Ignition Gremlin

    I been chasing my tail concerning sporadic ignition issue, starting back in June my 73 Charger with a 440 would occasionally have a starting issue where it would start normally then immediately die. Started thinking it was a fuel issue, all checked out fine there. So started checking out the...

    That definitely would be infuriating.
