My next project , a 428 build!

[horse sence]

I got it mostly wired ,still need a 12 volt resister for the unilite and the coil ,and straighten out the spaghetti and run it through some plastic wrap . Then I can hook everything into the key switch . All the connections are soldered and shrink tube .
I need a one wire alternator so I can do away with a voltage regulator .

We have power where power is supposed to be ,and not where it isn't supposed to be so I believe we are good ! Just hoses and a carb kit left !

I ordered my radiator hoses from NPD yesterday and to my surprise they came in today ! I have order many parts from them over the years and I can't say it have ever had a problem!
I need a bypass hose from the water pump to the intake and I can fill it up ,I will pick that up at the same time i get a fuel line and vacuum hoses and it will only leave the carburator and a buddy says he has the needles and secondary diaphragm and excelerator pump witch is all I really need I think!

Did the excelerator pump ,went with the alcohol pump . Going to try the needles and see if they hold .
Still need the fly wheel bolts and the water pump hose fitting but should be here today I hope . Need a carburator gasket still.
Spin techs are bolted on and headers tightened down then I figured out the starter will not go in with the headers on . Fly wheel is on with one bolt so I should be able to pull it and the backing plate and slip the starter in . Just those few things and this thing is ready to fire!

Fly wheel bolted in ,so is the starter. Carburator bolted on ,filled it with antifreeze and a few minutes later I noticed a very slight seep at the heater hose fitting in the intake ,nothing to worry about but once broke in I will pull it and reseal it .
Its ready to start but my nephew Nick wants to hear it fire up so I am waiting till tomorrow ,just need some gas and set in a good battery and hit the switch!

Never fails ,got it all hooked up ,hooked up the tack and I think i fried the distributor module ! I have power to the negative side of the coil and power to the positive side of the coil with key on but no spark from the coil . Looks like another $100 and a couple of days and maybe it will run . I am leaving the tack out this time

 

[horse sence]

It just came to me ,I have power to the coil while key is on ,but do I have power to the coil while cranking? No power while cranking the coil will not fire . Somthing to look at tomorrow!

 

[horse sence]

Well crap ,has power at start so I must have fried the module. Have a new one on the way and it will be here Tuesday so all I can do is sit and wait!

 

[GOvert]

What brand of distributor are you using and is it the pick-up module that is fried and does the company provide a pin-out of it and testing ohmage?
Looing darn good!

 

[horse sence]

It was the distributor module ,dropped in the new one and it fired ,then the battery was dead ! Charged it and spun it over ,it was binding so I went to retard the distributor and thats when I found out it was firing between the wires at the cap .
Turned out the lights and spun it over and had a very nice light show! You think changing the boots would straighten it out or just go and pick up another set of wires?

If i had to buy new boots I'd probably just get the wires. If I had the boots laying around I'd probably switch them.

The wires are as old as the boots.
