Also as a Pertronix update: I spoke to their customer service rep and 3ohms is what they are recommending.

Really appreciate the pointer I didn't consider trying to track one down. I was thinking the recommendations would be to switch over to a more modern alternator. I ordered one from City Racer.

I think I mis-spoke, I have a OEM alternator and the voltage regulator is external here is a picture. The problem I am facing is even with the new coil it is continuing to run poorly and seems to be loading up (like it is not getting proper spark with higher RPM). I tested the input to the coil...

I discovered that my voltage regulator is not functioning properly I am getting between 11v and 14v at the coil. What is the current recommendation should I replace the voltage regulator or should I get a new alternator?

Well I am excited to work on this and see if it makes a big difference in how it handles.

I will check timing, It is very odd how poorly it is running when it was running perfectly. I hit a pot holes and instantly died. I narrowed it down to the the coil but now it is basically not drivable. I haven't had a chance due to weather to try and troubleshoot. I have heard that the ground...

It definitely didn't seem right to me. I may try to flip them but if I decided to go to stock shackles are you saying I would need to get a new set of springs or just drop the short leaf? I worry that it is gonna mess up the stance because right now I like how it looks and rides.

Thanks for the info, it handles well enough and the SOA has grown on me so just going through making sure I don't need to prioritize anything.

Howdy All, I wanted to report that I have been daily driving the rig and I would highly recommend Tom woods to anyone who is struggling with any driveline issues. I have been side tracked by another project but now I have more time to tinker again. I wanted to post my front Shackles and see if...

Now I am really confused? .6ohms. The rig was running perfectly before and now I am falling down the rabbit hole. I will contact Pertronix and give me plugs a good once over.

I can take it out. I am not too sure how it works as it is a separate wire from the ignition.

I am hoping to see if someone can point me in the right direction and help me troubleshoot some problems I am having with my 77 daily driver. I changed over to Pertronix electronic ignition about 4 months ago and ditched the points in the distributor I also installed a flamethrower coil 1.5...

The lift is due to spring over axel and it rides high for me, it is probably around 4" lift. The tires are 33s on 15" rims. I almost feel like the tires need to be bigger to look proportionate.

I have been pretty focused on tinkering and forget to take pictures, which I will do this weekend to update the journey but wanted to share that I got to drive it this weekend and got on some dirt. I got a driveline from Tom woods and it is night and day and I appreciate all the recommendations...

Thanks I just spoke to Valley Hybrid
