So you are going to run 123 ignition driving the MSD? I am considering the exact same setup. I'd be interested to hear how that works for you.

It runs smoother and with the carbs now at a baseline with good throttle shafts and the IDA conversion it should run really well |

Cool thanks. I’m going to pull the trigger on that.
I just found your thread on the bird board. White MSD to black 123 Blue 123 to ground Red 123 to ignition hot Yellow 123 not used Is that how you ended up doing it. I also see several other people running the MSD with the blaster coil with the 123 ignition. |

@mb911 - performance oriented - Did you only send your carb bodies to be rebushed and converted? Is that why they are still in pieces?

Did the "poor mans" deal where he cleans all the passages, rebushes, and converts them to IDA with adjustable air correction jets.. This included truing up all surfaces, and replated everything.. |

Mine need to have the throttle shafts re-bushed. Other than that they are in good shape. The last time I looked...

After looking at the date of my original post it looks like. 5 year anniversary for my project as of this weekend. I am in the final stretch on this car.. Thinking spring wrap up.. Exciting for sure. Have to fix some oil leaks but really close.. I am sanding the front fenders and may have them in paint over the next few weeks.

Time goes by pretty fast with these projects. I'm guessing that an average lenght restoration. The car looks excellent!

I wonder as well what the average time is. @bbrock and @tygaboy including @dion are close to me length of time I am sure. @Krieger Started buying parts in ‘15, started disassembly in Aug. ‘16. Hoping for completion in ‘21. I need a paint job like you fellas (IMG:style_emoticons/default/hissyfit.gif) No hijack intended (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |
