  1. Bill,

    Just found and signed up on "pilot house" .  Nice to see someone close as I live in Roca and have just acquired a 1950 dodge pickup.  Are you open to phone calls and questions?

     

    Thanks

    Matt

  2. Now, All 'y'all are juss bein' silly. A few years ago, my wife and I ran the Club Store for the Plymouth Owners Club. Through that, we became good friends with a Plymouth owner in Argentina. I found that it helped communication if I gave more careful thought to word choice. Orly's English is quite good, but it helped to consider that he did not think in English. He thought in Spanish and then translated. One time, we had to communicate with a new member from Uraguay. I tried to do it using an online translator. Then, I sent copies to Orly, to ask if I did it right. He contacted the new member and straightened things out. He suggested that in the future, I ask him for help instead of trying to do it myself. My attempt at translating failed, but at least I didn't create an international incident.
  3. I'm with the guys on the jumper wire idea. It sounds like the coil is energized continuously. But just to possibly catch a future problem .... did you compare the new cap and rotor with the old ones? Over the years, someone could have put in a different distributor. There are several that will fit and work. But some of the parts don't interchange. Good luck. Please let us know what you find. Bill
  4. I'm a dummy. I just re-read your post and rediscovered you didn't use them in a car. What kind of motorcycle was it? Dad had a '47 Indian Chief. That was a cool bike.
  5. Thanks, Jeff. Right now, my application is a stock '49 218 with stock ignition. The car runs pretty good. I have the parts to convert to a slant-six distributor. After I change it to 12-volts, I plan to put in a Pertronix electronic ignition. So the application will change as time goes on. Do you happen to remember the number of the spark plug you used? Thanks. Bill
  6. What about plugs like E3, or the fancy titanium plugs. Has anyone had experience with them?
