Update on my Ignition Module failure!
Yeah, I have run points, and while I still have engines with points, like the much hotter spark of electronic ignition, Pertronics has been good, but I run MSD on all my small and bbc engines.

BBC 489 build
The oil pan has some nice hardware, and is double bolted, so bolts cannot loosen. I think this is a pretty engine, but pretty is what pretty does. Spring has sprung so very busy with the ranch, but determined to check the valve clearance this week, and will show how I do it. That will allow me...- Craig Nedrow

Took oil pump apart, and dim. look good @ .0015, and also applied breakin lube to shaft. BTW The breakin lube is oil dissolvable, and mixes with the oil, and will drain out with the first oil change.

Finally received my exchange timing chain, this time a Cloyes Street roller with adjustable keyways. It also has the cutout in the back of the cam sprocket for the included thrust bearing. All in all a good looking piece that has the right tension. HOWEVER... the timing was not correct, spent...- Craig Nedrow

Pooh, timing chain that I replaced the Howard cam, (it was way tight) was a Summit brand, and made by SA gear, just like the Howards cam one....also way to tight. Sent back and waiting on a Cloyes.- Craig Nedrow

American Auto Wire harness for the 73 K20. I got the kit as it has all new switches, sockets, connectors etc, all things I was going to have to replace. CalSgt is right, stock is good, but at almost 72, time is waistin' away. All new electrical is soo nice. I have several crimpers, but my...- Craig Nedrow

Gas in Oil!?
I am a Holly fan, and never have trouble with the engine starting even when setting for extended periods of time. Not so on the Q-jet on my other truck, few day and have to crank a bunch, I just keep a can of starting fluid in the engine compartment.- Craig Nedrow
