I definitely need a ballast resistor. Maybe that was my bad in wiring the car, I couldn't identify one, and because I am dumb I thought an...
That is awesome!!! Thank you RodstRace. I think you are onto it with the coil!!!! The original coil was a 27290 (found a pic) which online says...
Hey all, I am NOT an electrical guy, hell, I am barely knowledgeable enough to be a car guy. '49 Ford shoebox. Ran fine the first few years we...
I agree brother! Lets me remove that resistor from the inner fender. It’ll be a bit cleaner. Not great yet but nicer
Done guys! Thanks for all the help. Used the IC7 coil, new points at .015, new rotor. Short strips a few blocks away and back. Red
Ok they have that in stock. I gotta go to a different one for points and rotor. Where do I get the specs for the gap?
I’ll go built in resistor then because then I can clean the firewall up a bit. I may have to order since my Napa doesn’t really carry much. I’m...
Yes, snacks! I would get so much more done if I had something like this in the garage. So that’s a voltage regulator? Should I wire it in or get a...
Here we go. Searched high low and under the dash, here is all I saw and I’m not sure it was wired in before I started. Isn’t now and we’ve driven...
I will look again but couldn’t find the resistor before. I swear guys. Can a system run without it? I can’t figure out how to remove the rotor,...
Shoot. Cool says “external resistor” but you all see how the wires are. Could there be a resistor somewhere in my new fuse panel (rebel 9+3 kit).
Regarding points I know I can find a video in replacing them but are they universal do I need to find a way to id the distributor
Hi guys, I have a wire from under the dash, I think wired to the starter button or maybe the fuse panel. Can’t remember even though I wired it....
Oh, where in the wiring would the resistor show up? I have something on my fender that has 4 wires attached to it. But other than that I don’t...
How would I tell if it is a ballast resistor? Or HEI? My knowledge is 1 year if automotive 30some years ago and picking things up here and there....
Hi! Ok, embarrassing. Was troubleshooting my wiring Sunday and after not finding the problem I accidentally left the ignition on :( burned up the...
Mwahahaha!! I got it! I’ll explain in a sec. ok, first I’d like to ask a question about the relays, I do have one, and that was what shoebox...
Hey guys, few issues I’m getting. Taillights, first they came in, hit the brakes and drivers comes on passengers goes off. Buddy suggest bad...
Ok, so hit Napa for better sockets. Hopefully they know what I’m looking for half the time it seems nobody knows how to order it and they don’t...
Hey gents, ok, ignition switch. Before I try to figure out where to put all the wires on a 3 post switch; should I order a new one? This one I...
I spoke to rebel who the guy has been AMAZING and patient AF. He said most of their clients don’t use a relay. It was via text though and late...
What is the advantage to the bullet connector setup for front and rear lights? I mean, the only reason I could see is if you have to replace the...
I don’t know if anyone is checking this. Question jd you are. I had bought a relay from shoebox central to brighten the original headlight we like...
Ok. Once I finish under the dash I can move to the engine compartment. Not going to worry about the magic air or the wipers right now I don’t...
Sorry guys, some medical stuff had to stop for a bit. I have a few more questions to move on from where I got. To before stopping. I’ll post them...
Yes! That’s it, the 48 headlight dimmer switch. Thanks brother!!!
Sorry, it’s actually the high low kick down switch I need. Although this helps a lot too Wire just got here. Back at it today
I finally started doing things!!! Got the back end all done, just pending wire order from Wirebarn so I can run additional power for the popper....
Oh! Before I forget, this kit has no done wire, do I have to use one of my extra circuits for that? Does it matter what color? If I am reading the...
I saw the tesa tapw, but some says high temp some says interior, I wasn’t sure if it would be ok in the engine compartment. I got the main...
