Currently, the plan is to make a sprung over full caged ride. Mainly a trail rig so cosmetics are not that important. I also hope to get my 14 year old son interested so he...
I had a similar issue with my 55. Except it effected EVERYTHING that ran off electricity. Cutting blower on, hitting breaks, using signals would all cause things to go nuts. I cleaned, recleaned, added grounds to no avail. I even changed to a GM alternator, nadda. Finally, I replaced the...
That unit looks identical to the pertornics setup in my F engine.
I was running points when I first put my PIG on the road. Ran across the pertronics setup in the parts truck I bought.
Swapped points for the pertronics setup and there was no looking back. The only item I am missing is...

'71 FJ40 and a '76 parts truck. Towed it closer to home today. Here is a link to some pictures that I have taken. Hopefully I will get to take a closer look at it this week.
I think my PIG is getting exited to have a sibling!
