SOLD my 1969 SS396 300 Deluxe Post Sedan

[69 Post Sedan]

The ACT clutch kit is on its way.....I should get it by the end of this week or early next week.

On a side note......I’m still fighting a gremlin with what I believe to be an ignition problem. I thought I had it solved when I eliminated the CDI box but it’s acting up again. It started fine this spring but anytime I get the rpms up over 4000 or the secondaries kick it, it spits, sputters and sometimes backfires. The other day, I barely got it home......had to keep the rpms up over 1500 to keep it running.

I talked with a friend today (electrical genius) and he said since my Mallory Unilite distributor is old, that the ignition module might be bad....especially since I’ve replaced and/or eliminated everything else. He said he had the same thing happen to him and that was his issue.

So I took the distributor cap off and found an e-clip sitting in the distributor, I have no idea where that came from or where it goes/went. I then took the distributor out to make sure I ordered the correct ignition module and noticed the shaft was moving up and down quite a bit. As I spun it, I noticed the head of a screw was marred up from hitting/rubbing on something.....like the bottom of the plate where the module bolts to. So I bit the bullitt and ordered a new distributor, new Comp Cams composite gear among other things for the clutch replacement.

When I get the distributor installed, EVERYTHING for my ignition will be new!!! $$$$$$$

Let’s hope this resolve this issue.......I need to have it running good for the NOCC show or Dan will be upset.......and we don’t want to do that!!!
