    Interior: Is it possible?

    The problem I've found with most reproducton parts on ebay is that the little bit they are cheaper you more than make up for in the cost of shipping each individual part. Combined shipping from major parts house is your friend. Specialy ones that offer free shipping on large dollar orders...

    Whats the voltage suppost to be at the ballast risistor?

    In my experiance, the coil will eventually die without the resistor. I've seen it happen in less than a week (with daily driving). I think the better question is why were coils ever designed to run on a lesser voltage anyway??

    How many Toothed Gear?

    You were a little unclear as to what your old number of teeth were but if everything else is equal aside from your gear swap and you speedo was accurate before, the easist thing to do is to (3.5/2.8)=(new# teeth /old # teeth) ---> New # teeth = 1.25* Old # teeth. then buy the closest gear...

    Do yourself a HUGE favor and pony up for the gas option! I went way to long with flux core before I switched mine over to gas. I knew I could lay alot prettier beads than I was getting out of the flux core :rolleyes:

    351 balancer on a 302!

It has large lettering and makes timing VERY easy (not only due to large visible markings but also allowing you to make a custom pointer location as you...

    distributor and timing?

    Did you get the coil wire seated into the distributer cap and coil good? Before you removed the old dstributer did you turn the engine over to TDC and check that the rotor in the distributer was pointing to the wire that travels to cylinder number one? If not, you are going to need to find...
