I have a MSD 6 in the car. Good point about lubing the points. Thanks.

Thanks everyone. I did every voltage and resistance tests and checked and rechecked everything. I pulled the distributor and put a new set of points and condenser in reinstalled and it fired within 3 revolutions. After timing and dwell adjustment it runs perfect. So I can only summize that the...

Yes. I did ring out each wire. My thoughts are that a module is either good or bad so it has to be in the cap and rotor.

They all seem good. The magnet ring is good and has a .035" air gap.

Thanks for the quick replies. I have bypassed the blast resistor. I also have he ked that I am getting 12V at the coil. I used my timing light and checked all of the wires and 3 are dead. Keep the suggestions comming.

Hello, I am going to remove the air ride system from my 1962 409 Biscayne and am considering going to the Viking coil over shocks in front and lowering springs and Viking tube shocks for the rear. Is anyone familiar with this setup? Thanks

Thanks everyone for the great feedback. I spoke to Gary at American Powertrain and they are going to build a conversion kit for the X frame car. The kit will include a special shifter adapter so the stock lever will be in the correct location. At this time they have not received any customer...

I am considering changing out the 4 speed for the new TKX 5 speed in my 62 409 Biscayne. Has anyone had any experience with this swap. Tremec says it will fit in the same space as a conventional 4 speed.

Here are some more pics. Thanks for the nice comments.

I own a 62 409 Biscayne. Looking forward to all of the great info and chat.

Has anyone installed the new Tremec TKX 5 speed transmission in their 61-64. Wondering about floor pan clearance and shifter location. Thanks
