Hi Guys,

so I’ve finally got my sb into the 68 dart (former /6, now a V8), and I’ve got my hands on a magnetic pickup distributor (and a wire hareness for the four connector ballast, is this the v8 one?). I’m wondering, will this just drop in and connect to the exsisting slant six wiring? The ignition box in the car is a 5 wire, and the ballast resistor is a two connector, not really sure what mix of parts works. And before I go ordering stuff I’d like to know where I’m going before I…

1970 Dart, 318, A904. I want to temporarily bypass my neutral safety switch. Where is it located and which wires (color) do you jump? Thanks in advance!

Whats the best regulator to run when running an msd setup. I used to always run the Mopar electronic stuff on street and strip. That included the early constant voltage regulator, blue one. I did run the blue regulator with the msd box. But I am concerned this will cause problems.

*Im putting together a street/strip 360 for my 72 duster. I had a MSD PRO-BILLET dist but someone stole it and now I need another dist. I dont have the funds to get another one so whats a GOOD but CHEAP dist to get?? I do have a MSD 6A and a MSD Blaster 2.
Any info on the Pro-comp ones??

THANKS!!!!!

Hi there,

I have a 70 Duster 340 4 Speed, currently running on the Mopar aftermarket electronic ign. Yesterday it ran fine. Today I go to shut it off and it will not shut off. I have to turn off my fuel pump to starve it. I put a new ignition switch in, checked alternator and ballast resistor along with voltage regulator. The dash lights come on like the key is on. Any info is apprecaited! Thanks!:bootysha:

I am going to update my alternator and was wandering which alternator i can use. I am going to bypass the ammeter the mad electric way this weekend and want to know what the best option is for alternator so i dont have my turn signals going on and off every two minutes when i drive at night. please advise. thanks.

Well I went out to the garage and took the distributor advance plate out on the work bench. Found that the pivot stud wasn’t broken but was not peened in place properly when new and finally fell out. This dist has an oil cup for the upper bushing. Here are a few pics.
