Thanks very much. I also got this old but functional photo of the explanation of how they are placed if anyone else can use it. DCM in Zeeland, MI has the kits and had the photo. Hope this helps others. I'm good! Steve Flokstra or Todd Flokstra DCM Classics LLC (Dodge Central of Michigan) (616)772-1165 www.dcmclassics.com

I read through all the posts and saw pictures of older Pilot House door weather-strip but I need a picture of install new or updated. I bought a truck with all old weather-strips removed and bought the kit with all the pieces. I can’t seem to figure out how these should be glued in and installed. Can someone who has them installed correctly post pictures so I do this job correctly? Many thanks!

Petronix Distributor Conversion

Thanks for the response. i found the problem, fried wire from the points to coil was grounding. I replaced it, fired right up! -

Petronix Distributor Conversion

Thanks very much Merle, very helpful. I'll check all of those items before I go drastic! -
I'm having issues keeping strong spark. I have an industrial truck 218 flathead in my '49 B1B. I replaced the coil, points, condenser, voltage regulator (yes I polarized!) and still no spark. It was running fine, took it to a glass place and when picking it up, would not start. Plenty of battery because it cranks. Thinking of a Petronix conversion but wonder if anyone has any experience to share. Good idea? I'm assuming that the original generator and voltage regulator design work well with the Petronix coil, module and distributor. I plan to leave it 6 V positive ground. Any thoughts, insights before I purchase the conversion? Many thanks! Pilot House Newbie!
