Neil, I am only using the yellow +12v wire from the ignition, going to the + terminal of both coils, and the brown-ish tach wire to the - terminal...
Sorry I was gone for a few days - my Bosch part # is 00012, same as Steve posted. I removed all of the points and wires when I did the...
Notice in photo #9 how much black belt residue is on the inside of your cam belt covers. Perhaps watching for this black belt throw-off could be...
With your electronic conversion, you can run a bit wider plug gap, 0.033 - 0.035" seemed to work best for me. I've been running Bosch blue coils...
Michael, can you repost this pic? My intake manifolds are stuck solid too. Many thanks.
Mine is a '79 but I don't believe there is any big difference in the housing/mounting configuration than with yours. Shoot some penetrating oil...
Just 10-20 years of corrosion and 'gunk' should be all that's left holding it on. You may need to give it a tap or two from the back to get it...
Russ, I used them to make this dual Pertronix adapter/mounting plate. Their service is fairly expensive if you are only going to make a few, but...

Does your car have the dreaded Dexcool in it? My PO was running Dexcool, and it turned into a sludgy mud in my coolant tank, probably had...

I need some more time to finish my current mods, but I would be interested. January would give me more time to finish. How flexible are they as...
Peter, We should get together and see if we can come up with a design that can be used with either the Crane or the Pertronix modules. We could...
Peter, I used emachineshop.com for the mounting plate. It's a little pricy if you only make a few like I did, but the per-unit costs come down...
In my case, the pivot holes of the advance weights were wallowed out in one distributor, causing them to bind and not advance properly. The pins...
Your symptoms are typical of a K-Jet system that is running too rich - the cause of the richness could be any number of things; injectors, WUR,...
Tillman, It may be easier to cut off the head of the bolt that screws into it, then pull it up and out. Not sure about the clearance available...
I bought a used spline drive from GT Car Parts, $50.
