SIX's Help

Jared came over today and saw the mess I'm working with, But He did give me some good advice. He is salt of the earth. Advice about turning back to the Duraspark Blue Gromett. The guy was a good friend, he gave me and wifey good advice.

This chapter has some good people. In this area Ford and Rex come to mind first.

Thanks for the good words. Let me know when you get the parts, I'll swing back by.

Will do, think I need to go to "Pick a Part" for most. An 86' Duraspark with the blue grommet will work?

BTW, I want everyone in this chapter to know that Jared is THE MAN! He came and helped me with an impossible situation today. Thanks Jared!!!

86 should be the same thing you have now or EEC-IV, which is the ignition system that went with fuel injection.
75-79 used the same basic system, 78-79 were the best years for it, 78 is the most common to find.
You can get them remanufactured from Schucks, I think p/n 302879 (for 302) ($40 and $3 core charge) would be the right one for you, but you might want to double check that in the 302/351 forum. The module for that is about $30.

Yeah, let me know when you get the parts, I'll swing by and install if you'd like. Shouldn't take too long to get it together and ready to run.

I mean I'll install the parts but I want to see some majic on my baby.

Edit, where we we talking about ****? I thought it was general, sory, chatter but I cant find it now in the forums. Oh sorry, correct nomenclature is "not hetero"?

Lol, out of reach? Sori, I usually get on here just in the mornings for a few hours. I'll try online at night more with all youse guyz, though reading the screen for hours gets a little tiring lol.

Too much experience? No, not as a mechanic, I'm here to get good advice from the real mechs. I can do the basics, like on your truck once i know what it is i'm aiming to fix.

But as an electronic counter-measures tech, old military computer systems op, ditchdigger, or jack-of-many-trades master of none? Yea, I can hold my own

ROTL yea ya' got to be PC!

There's a big blog discussion right now in the Seattle Post Intelligencer about the Seattle libs criticizing the military for not allowing the swishes in with "Don't ask, don't tell" policy. I don't see a one of them naysayers that actually served in the military.

Well that just seems too me like it's a violation of soldiers rights. Shouldn't those boys know who they have to deal with everyday, I think they have enough problems dealing with *******s. oops... did it again Middle Easterners.

Naw, because I think that it ended up that there was two many missing parts to even worry about that yet. If I had the money I would repalce everything but the manifold and block. lol
