So my alternator’s voltage output was low. So, I went to my trusted local auto parts store, and got a rebuilt untit. Well, the dang thing doesn’t fit. I had to shorten the long spacer that goes between the mounting ears, because the dimensions were different than the stock alternator. I got it mounted up, and it sits crooked. When I started the car up, it just smoked the new fan belt, as the alternator pulley was at too extreme an angle to rotate freely.

So, my core is gone, as I waited…

Over the course of four days I replaced the following on my 318. Voltage regulator, new spark plugs and a MSD blaster coil. The car cranks but will not fire up. I am thinking I did something wrong when hooking the coil up but everything looks good. Sounds fine when cranking but will not engage. All the spark plug wire boots are tight as well. What are the steps to solve this problem?

Thanks for any info.

my wiring is all messed up, i unpluged the brake connector thing from the little plunger, and drove a bit and hooked it back up again. now my brake lights dont work at all, and the inside dome lights are dim when i drive, but do not light up when doors are opem, and the dash lights dont work at all.

can anyone help me with how to rewire everything and all the wireing harnesses and yeah.

I just bought an MSD Dist for my small block to replace my old DC Tach drive Dist and when I went to install it I realized the rotor is not lined up with the bottom of the dist shaft correctly.

If you line up the bottom of the shaft at 12 O’clock and 6 O’clock the rotor is pointing towards 2 O’clock on the MSD but on my DC, and an old Unilite I have sitting here and the 3 stock distributors I have lying here the rotor points towards 12 O’clock or basically the same direction as the paddle at…
