Last post by DeathProofCuda - Today at 04:50:51 PMWhen the car is cool and will turn over, check cranking voltage at the coil. If you are at less than 9.5 volts then resistance in the primary circuit it too high.
Also check out the attached tech bulletin on ignition systems from 1969. Perfect for your original points car.

Last post by DeathProofCuda - Today at 04:32:48 PMThe fact that the car won't turn over when warm makes me think it is too much resistance in the primary electrical circuit. Wiring warms up, resistance increases and then voltage to coil is too low for good spark and not enough juice to turn the car over. Wiring cools, resistance drops enough to supply enough voltage for it to turn over and run well for awhile.
I'd go through and clean up all connections of the primary electrical circuit and see if that does the trick.
Carb and coil issues aren't going to keep the car from turning over.

Last post by YellowThumper - Today at 02:51:30 PMYesterday:
Finished necessary portion of dash and installed.
Completed rebuild of steering column and installed.
All plumbing for exhaust installed.
Starter wiring installed and wrapped with heat shielding.
Today:
4+ hours of nervous energy cleaning up and going over all that remains.
Turbo oil feed lines tight.
Fuel pump rewired.
O2 sensor hole temporarily plugged.
Full synthetic oil added.
Battery reinstalled.
Running out of excuses to test.
Not ready to start. Turbo drains are below car into a bucket.
Want to confirm they are oiling before attempting to start.
So close...

Car Shows, Events, and Races (ROSEVILLE MOPARTS) / Re: Car show disaster
Last post by YellowThumper - Today at 02:49:35 PMWow so sorry to hear this.
Unfortunately the sole liability will fall on the Church.
Dude who was driving should stand up and help out. But we all know that is unfortunately a lost commodity.
Good luck with insurance.
Other option would be to personally go after him.

Give this guy a call. He's in upstate NY and he has a shite ton of Mopar stuff.

OK, thanks for the suggestions. From what I heard Greyhound no longer does third party shipping, and leaves FedEx-UPS and LTL for shipping. I agree, shipping has went out of sight for anything other than a marshmallow, LOL. I might have to list for local pickup unless the buyer is prepared to indenture their first born.

Last post by BIGSHCLUNK - Today at 11:48:57 AMImpressive specs I'll say that. And the website says Autozone & NAPA. I will investigate. Thanks Brad
Murray, you may be right. With one exception every battery has died in storage.
