Roger; The section from the T connector to the back of the cylinder head had A protective wrap and is good,I just gave it some over kill. I used to wire locomotive cabs. Mark M

P.S. I got the engine wire harness today from YNZ, put it in and is good as new,I put small black loom covering over them,it turned out good,right length, colors,termination, fires up fine!!!! Mark M

Dick; The engine and valve covers are the same,the paint is VHT #403 titanium silver engine paint,I got it at Auto Zone.It was engine heat primered by the rebuilder before I painted it.I could not get or find Mopar silver they don't make it no more.This paint has A tinge of blue,it looks good,I like...

Guys; Allright where was I,oh yea the plymouth.Well she is A L I V E !!!!!!!!!! And well I might add.I wheeled her outside and ran it for some break in.The fellow I had rebuild the motor said run it about 1500-2000 rpm 20 to 30 minutes to break in the flat tappets,I am running Brad Penn SAE 30 "...

Guys; I would like to wrap up this post to anyone else that has A similar problem,I did A resistance test with my multimeter and did find the secondary windings in the coil was bad and would produce A weak spark,I picked up A new coil at napa,and had my wife crank it while I held the #1 plug to the ...

Dick ; Very very nice!! I am impressed!!!!!! It's nice to put A face to A post.The car looks great,I enjoyed that!!!!!!!! Mark M

Roger; I called Ynz they are out in California,talked to A fellow named Chris,he said no problem and send it out in A day or two,he said it is part of the complete harness but can section the one out,he told me $35.00 i'm ok with that.Will also have t connector and all terminated with correct color ...

Guy's ; Well it runs!!!!!!!!!! However,it was not as I thought,in fact it was my mistake.The 3 wires coming out of the fire wall(oil pressure,temp sensor,pos.coil) some how got mixed up,earlier I had A broken wire at the pos.coil(wire clip) and went to repair it and also some cracked missing insulat...

Guys; Seems to be indicating A problem with the ballast resistor(original),have good power before it and wire continuity after it to the coil,I have replaced the solenoid(also original) today but had to order the resistor,it will be in tuesday,I also am ordering A new coil (appears older),was going ...

Ricky;I put A test light at the pos.side of the coil and noticed it seemed dim,placed it on the neg. side and was equally dim,so I ran A jumper from the pos.side of the battery to the pos.side of the coil(the side that leads to the key switch) and it was very bright,as is also the neg.side going to ...

P.S.The wire in the picture with the rubber boot at the left side terminal is the one going to the nueteral switch,the yellow bare one on the right goes to the key switch

Guy's I'll correct myself,(negative) side of coil (the wire that goes to the points) I connect A volt meter turn the key to on and get over 12v,as I slowly keep turning to crank position I lose the power to "0".Then I disconnected the nueteral switch wire,put A meter on it and at the same ...

Roger; The coil will not have power if I go and turn the key to on,but will have A little over 12v after it has been cranked and will remain the same after I stop cranking and put the key back to on.It will lose it after the key goes back to off.It's like I get in turn the key on(nothing at coil),cr...

Guys;I am A little stumped here,I get 12.75volts at the + side of the coil and the same at the - side,(key on),power at the points(test light),12.75volts coming out of the coil wire to the distributor,but I lose the voltage out of the coil wire at the distributor when I "crank" the engine....

Guys; Thanks for the come back,the tranny shift spring attachment in the housing was misaligned at the shaft to tranny housing,needs 7/32 clearance,it was too wide,also the spring connector(the part the cable goes into and "clips") was upside down on the kick down shaft,the mount screw/slo...
