Hei retrofit for point distributor. I love this modern age of internet and information. Here is a good write up and several schematics for using a point style distributor to trigger a GM HEI 4 pin module. The advantage is that the module switches the high amperage primary coil load instead of...

Here is the thread ..post #6 https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?60039-GM-302-Distributor

Haha my bad..he already got it handled..good job.

Hi Phil..the post i read said he used a 235 but had to change the hold down clamp from bolt down to band clamp i think it was..said the distributor was available from autozone so im going to guess it was a late one..there was a part number too ill try and find the thread/ part number. Im not...

Info on converting mopar electronic ignition Ok lets try again.. Go out and find a 74-84 or so GM car or truck rob the distributor.. Remove the cap and rotor. Under the rotor will be a back or possibly a white module held down with two 1/4" screws and has 2 wire connectors..this is the part you...

Hi everyone USMC 00-08 has asked me to start a thread as repository for information regarding the replacement of the stock 302 gmc military distributor with a civillian unit as some parts for the military are no longer in production. I will try and cover distributor interchange. I have read that...

For the spark issue you may want to leave the cap off, have someone crank the engine and verify the rotor is actually turning. If it is work your way up from there. If youve replaced all the other parts and no short to ground or open circuit exists i would suspect a mechanical issue. Verify the...

Update..my source here does not have a 135/211 tcase for me..on the upside he did have a bridge truck tcase that i needed for another project so..Yaaaay! This thread will have to wait till i can lay hands on a spare unfortunately. I dont want to go messing up the one i have that works. The...

Hahha you bet ploughboy...rust on the wind. Your 135 is really tight..looks fantastic. Totally wants to make me quit my job and just build...oh wait..bills..family..****..haha.. Im getting ready to move the show to vancouver island..maybe get a little more time to play outa the deal. Get away...

I went to work in a custom shop a couple of months after i got out of college for my heavy duty mechanics ticket. That wouldve been 1992. We built rods, drag cars worked on anything that brought cash into the shop.restored a ton of 67-72 chevy trucks and blazers..we also had a side gig splashing...

Thanks Rosco that would be a great help. I can see a way in my mind to create a safety so that it was dimensionally impossible to have the two engaged at the same time but until my spare tcase comes its all up in the air..in my head haha.. I just got intel on a 3 ton underlift on the cheap so i...

Beautiful work and a great thread. Thanks for taking the time to pic and post. Seeing others take the plunge keeps the rest of us waiting for parts ,time and capital excited and motivated. After years of body shop action i am sensitive to isocyanide and MEK. So i promised my wife i would only...

This was a duplicate post Doh!

Lets get the ball rolling Here is the allison MT653DR ill be using in all its glory. It measures 40" from where the flexplate mounts up to the torque converter drive plate to the center of the u-joint in the yoke thats currently bolted to the output shaft. The stock 302M hydra-matic measures...

Hi everyone. I'm starting this thread as repository for information around the repower of my M135 with a pre '86 two piece rear main seal small block chev/ allison MT653 combo as well as the issues and solutions reached to get there. I'll do my best to log the good, the bad, and the hillariously...

Diagrams and parts views Ok..i finally managed to figure out how to screenshot what we needed to illistrate this discussion. Here are the powerflow and part diagrams with some explanation from TM 9-1819AC part 2 available courtesy of our excellent partners and hard working people at Steel...

Thanks Topo thats what i figured the situation was from looking at the TM's..gentrysgarage..yeah i understand..my CMP Ford is built to the same plan..the Bic lighter theory... So where does that leave us in the discussion? 1. We have the question of what is the rato difference between input...

I went back and re read rosco's post. I'm asking you's with winches..when you shift your tcase to neutral. 1. Do you shift to neutral then keep moving the lever to engage the pto gear? 2. Do you just disengage the drive to the wheels and pull another lever to engage the pto? My truck doesnt...

Well im working from .pdf TM's i've downloaded and unfortunately my phone wont let me screen shot the diagrams.. I think that it is possible to make a 2 spd case from this, however..i dont think it would stand up to any real abuse. Pto gears generally are designed to transmit a %age of total...

So..if the above is correct...the bearing eliminator/spacer would need to move the pto drive gear rearward in the case if possible and teeth on the input shaft drive gear would have to be shortened so the sliding gear was engaged with the input shaft gear or pto gear but never both . That...
