85lebaront2 Posted September 14, 2023 Share Posted September 14, 2023 On a side note, I have an idea for a good high output ignition system that hopefully can be triggered with a DS-I or DS-II distributor (it would still need the large cap and rotor but use a E-core coil and no ballast resistor. If you or someone else has a DOA DS-II box (can even be aftermarket). The issue will be if a DS-II pickup will trigger the module, I know a Chrysler pickup will as that is what is used on MGs and Jaguars. Bill - I rescued this yellow-grommet module from the stuff going to the show. Seriously doubt anyone would buy it, even for a buck which is what we'd be asking, so it would get tossed at the end of the day. As you can see, two of its connectors are broken and being a yellow-belly no one wants it. It is now with the other stuff coming to you - some day. That's perfect, because if what I am wanting to try works it will allow the underhood area to look stock while having the benefits of an HEI without the clunky Chinese unit. It will clear the front of the 460 intake nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ratdude747 Posted September 15, 2023 Author Share Posted September 15, 2023 It doesn't work to use the 'large size' option in the right column of the insert image window? 5mb max. Files are way larger. And that's at 300dpi grayscale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
85lebaront2 Posted September 15, 2023 Share Posted September 15, 2023 I like that, Bill. Hope it works! If it does, we will need to start collecting DOA DS modules, even aftermarket ones, although if I could find a good reasonable source for some Lucas Constant Energy modules it would be faster.

ratdude747 Posted September 18, 2023 Author Share Posted September 18, 2023 I'm seeing an Edelbrock knock-off 1409 "marine" carburetor on Amazon for under $200.... All the usual caveats about Chinese 'junk' apply, but it's worth knowing about. Edit, link didn't work: Trucktok 1409 Marine Carburetor Performer 600 CFM 4 Barrel Square Bore with Air Valve Secondary Electric Choke Carburetor Replacement for Chrysler Chevy Marine Engine https://a.co/d/4jWRQlD A bit 'spensive, but I did find this: https://www.ebay.com/itm/166045282215 Pretty much perfect. That's the 302-specific model, with the flame arrestor no less. Other than maybe being cursed? Worth making an offer on? Very tempting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don’t have that flame arrester then you should seriously consider the combo. Two birds/one big bill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope on the flame arrestor. Offer sent... Too good not to try. Irresponsible but whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
