Very good video ,even a way to at least test a four pin ignition module to see if it at least is doing something.Very nice and simple setup.Had to draw down your diagram in my book.Even thought my car uses the 5-pin module, fifth pin for advancing and retarding timing on engine timing .Not the later 5-pin one that acts as a knock sensor function.

Thanks for the easy to follow description. I'm going to be doing this soon on my 73 W 200 truck. Hope you can make a video on how to bypass the amp meter inside the vehicle?

Thanks for watching! I might do a video covering that when I install the gauges in the Fury.

Great Video Thanks I have a 1984 dodge d150 with a 318 and I replaced the box and still wont start so I'm going to do the conversion, what is the cheapest coil I can get away with some of them are 75 dollars that's just ridiculous. You were connecting the old stock coil will it work ok or should I buy a different one. which one is reliable and cheap??

@HardHeadGarage 3 месяца назад

The display was with an old stock coil, I've heard of people using those, although they might not last as long. As far as aftermarket goes cheap and reliable are a thing of the past unfortunately. I've had good luck with the Accel Super Stock coils. Thanks for watching, and good luck on your build!

Questions.. 1.Connect another wire to the G side to the Battery positive on the ignition coil? For it to act as a pull up resistor? 2. When im grounding out the w terminal i'm taking another wire and to the body? 3. Would any ignition module work? Or do I have to get a certain year?

@HardHeadGarage 6 месяцев назад

The only positive wire goes to the "B" terminal, it can be received from any switched 12 volt source. The ground on the module comes from one of the mounting holes on the module to chassis ground. I usually use a mid to late 70's 4 pin module, they are available from stock to performance.

@dannybrightman4816 Месяц назад

What do you do about the ballist resister on the firewall with the four wires.

@HardHeadGarage Месяц назад

Some people use those original wires to get their 12 volt and keyed power from. I prefer to run new wires and ditch the old system.

With this setup can I convert from TBI to carburetor on my 1989 Dodge Dakota Shelby?

@HardHeadGarage 2 месяца назад

This setup works well with carburetors, granted that you have everything else needed for the conversion

@markhogeland3488 2 месяца назад

@@HardHeadGarage I have the intake manifold and carburetor what am I missing thanks again for all the help

@HardHeadGarage 2 месяца назад

@markhogeland3488 you'll need an old school electronic distributor

@firlanedrummer87 29 дней назад

And this still uses everything in the mopar distributor? Like the points? I don’t know shit about shit

@HardHeadGarage 29 дней назад

This modifications is normally done on a factory Mopar electronic distributor, the ones with a magnetic pickup instead of points

@firlanedrummer87 29 дней назад

@@HardHeadGarage what do I gotta do to get rid of the points

@HardHeadGarage 29 дней назад

@firlanedrummer87 just grab any stock electronic distributor and you can do this upgrade.

@Veterangarage 5 месяцев назад

I did this set up but no spark at all with power from a running battery even. I think the new distributor is bad that I just ordered.

@HardHeadGarage 5 месяцев назад

Sometimes switching the wires on the distributor side of the module will help. Or the gap between your pickup and reluctor wheel inside the distributor is too wide.
