  1. While I am sure someone has done this swap, I don't know whom, lol. As for wiring harnesses, lots of vendors out there. Holley makes a kit using their own computers too. https://www.hotwireauto.com/chrysler-harnesses https://swapspecialties.com/product/hemi-standalone-harness/ Here's a pic with dimensions that might help you decide how feasible it is. Some time with the chart and a tape measure might be useful Good luck
  2. There is no aluminum in the swap, not sure how you got that? I had the same issue drilling the holes, the spindle just resized my brand new, bought just for this job, drill bit. If I haven't thrown it away I'll take a picture of the two diameter bit lol. I ended up just taking it to the machine shop and let them drill and tap it. Should have done that to begin with since I needed the king pins redone anyway,
  3. Because boneyards around here don't have slant sixes in them. I have a lean burn one on hand, no mechanical or vacuum advance at all. It's part of my EFI upgrade, going to have the computer handle timing. That one you cannot do the shaft swap trick on, which is why I already had a plan to address that. Essentially, I am making a shaft extension that's use the stock /6 roll pin to hold it on. Only reason I am even messing with the /6 version with advance is because I am tired of the new made points rubbing block wearing out and the EFI swap goes on the 230 I am building. Less than 1500 miles on the new points and the dwell is at 20 degrees. Plus it was Sunday when I was messing with things adn Napa wasn't open, only place in town that has the points in stock. So I thought "hey, perfect time for the conversion", lol. This way I can use /6 cap and rotor, don't have to worry about finding NOS points, cap or rotor anymore. Oh, one other difference between the new /6 distributor and an original, the bolt that holds the timing tab to the distributor is metric. Got to get one.
  4. Hmmm https://www.mahle-powertrain.com/en/experience/mahle-jet-ignition/
  5. Not really when you consider what it would cost to rebuild what you have. A used motor can be a crap shoot.
  6. So I will have to step back and punt, till my stuff comes in for the other method I was thinking of. Will update on that.
  7. So, I finally got around to trying to convert my points to electronic ignition. Following this method. Ran into some issues to note. Bought a new, not reman slant six distributor. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00VVB46R0/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Started the conversion yesterday, had a different idea I was going to persue but the stuff I need to do that method won;t be here till Thursday. Got impatient and tried the above method. The distributor I bought is not compatible with the flatty to slant parts swapping conversion, here's why. The top of the distributor shaft that the rotor rides on is retained by a hair clip on the Mopar distributor, whereas on the aftermarket one it is retained by a phillps head screw. So I cannot use the old lower shaft with the new upper shaft.
  8. Unless you heard it in the radio while it was running whatever you heard wasn't the plugs or wires, especially after you turned it off.
  9. I have the same person to car ratio, lol. Thinking about adding another. But it is just me.
  10. Wix filter look up by dimension https://www.wixfilters.com/en-us/filter-finder.html Not finding an exact match, but maybe this will work? https://www.speedwaymotors.com/Replacement-Paper-Filter-for-Shotgun-Scoop-6-38-x-2-38-Inch,34083.html
  11. You using eating vinegar or cleaning vinegar? I ask, because I recently found out that cleaning vinegar is stronger, who knew? lol
  12. Ain't that the truth, I end up going down lot's of rabbit holes "learning". lol
  13. I did cover this exact issue in my write of the swap I did.
  14. I have several issues with that plate design. Some aftermarket intakes, Offy, are porous (freeze plugs leak) and will leak coolant into the intake unless you seal it up properly. I hae a Thickstun intake, it doesn't have that issue. Primarily though, the stock exhaust heat works to heat the intake up immediately, then backs off once the engine comes up to temp. The plate works opposite that. I don't use either in most applications, but I don't life where that might be a concern.
  15. 18 in/hg is kinda low, especially since you are at sea level. A bit of tuning might be in order. Play with the timing a bit, tweak the mixture screw a bit. I get about 20-21 at 1600 feet above sea level. Once you dial that in your car will really run nice.
  16. Make sure you lube it.
  17. I am not sure what scale you were using, but in the most commonly used on, here in the US anyway, it's inches of mercury, in/hg. just under 30 is a perfect vacuum. Tell use what scale you used? vacuum-pressure-unit-conversions-chart-from-ism.pdf
  18. I bought mine from Wesco. 3-point Aviation buckles built-in retractor
  19. That sounds like it would be perfect and I would guess they would know.
  20. The motor in the pump isn't grounded to the case, so you can wire it to work with a positive or negative ground, it don't care. Now the voltage drop will affect the output. I went to Carter's website to look up the specs, pretty lame, imo. No datasheet showing output vs voltage, heck they don't even tell you what pressure is expected, lol. https://carterengineered.com/electric-fuel-pump-p90091
  21. Try a new battery in the meter If that doesn't clear it up, tell us what the readings are with the switch in AC.
  22. And it's $10 cheaper at RockAuto but if you throw in the shipping it's probably a wash LOL unless you're doing a RockAuto order anyway
  23. It's probably too late now and it doesn't look like it's really necessary but they do sell prefabricated transmission humps. Typically they're for race cars, but that don't mean it won't work elsewhere. You can usually find them at Jegs or Summit places like that. Just something to keep in mind. Your work looks really good keep on.
  24. Yeah that's the problem with most of our stuff they're wore out sometimes news the best way to go. I do have a question about the preset though preset for what? Might not hurt to consider fine-tuning those adjustments
