@@LVBeatzMusic The coil is from a Buick 4 cylinder that had two plug outlets to fire two plus simultaneously. That is ok because one firing sequence is on the exhaust stroke, know as wasted spark. I previously had it working with the module firing two separate coils at the same time, one for each plug.

@@LVBeatzMusic Yes it is adjustable although static, so that I could adjust it with a timing light for the right advance.

@@vanstechcorral Ok tysm for answering. I am looking to build a dual coil ignition for mine, as I want fully adjustable timing control and or stronger spark. And yes the wasted spark system is used. It can be good, but I want to run a wider gap on my plugs, and I don't want to fry out the stock coil.

@@skippy7545 There is no mystery. A basic understanding of electrical systems is very helpful. There are only positive and ground connections. Since there can be various colors of wires and connection locations, as well as safety cutoff switches, some portion must be left to the student's own discovery.

This one is loaded. Power Steering, a/c. Too bad she drove it like an old lady would.

@@mikestyles499 I like having the side vent windows. But I did install a 69 bumper which looks better.

@@earlscaanlon4353 The 71 Chevelle at the beginning has a see through distributor cap.

@@vanstechcorral they are cool !

Not sure how old you are, but if you're older, your grammar school English and grammar teacher just torpedoed out of the gravesite.

@@earlscaanlon4353 I prefer having side vent windows too.

@@vanstechcorral they'll keep cool ....my sisters husbands chevelle had craigers on it. Pizza type cutter n front, jack up with big wide meats on the rear. I can see it now in my mind. 12 years old look at that, and to boot i get ro ride in it!!! Hell Yeah!!

@@ia4533 You may be able to remove a rusted out subframe, and put another in, if you find a way to support the engine and transmission and drive axle assemblies. I haven't tried it though.

@@vanstechcorral can I leave it jacked up and have the crane hold the engine then take the subframe out do you think that would work out for me?

@@ia4533 Best wishes - let us know how you make out. I suggest getting the factory manuals, available from the Nissan club online. This is one of the most difficult models to work on. Even changing an alternator takes hours.

@@ia4533 They are very nice to be seated in.

@@vanstechcorral do you think a engine support bar will hold the engine so I can remove the subframe

Even with front fascia off it's not possible to get the engine and trans out without dropping the subframe first and removing the engine. The car must be raised to do that and the subframe lowered. The engine being seized complicated removing torque converter bolts.

@@wrecked3362 I don't have a part number, but it came off a single cylinder 12.5 Briggs that was on an MTD lawn tractor.

@@vanstechcorral So it doesnt matter which engine it comes from? All briggs have the same bolt patern for the stator?Opposed twin or single cylinder?

@@wrecked3362 Not sure. Has to match magnets underside of flywheel.

@@MrVerilog Yes, sometimes the grinder must be your friend.

The project was a success from the mechanical viewpoint. However, the customer arrived for the test drive, then drove off in the vehicle and refused payment. A year later, the daughter whose car it was and continued to use it committed suicide.

@@vanstechcorral It's hard to understand some human beings, they way they treat other people and themselves. Costs nothing to be nice to everyone and live a life the best you can with the life fate handed to you.

Most tachs, including Sun etc. just don't work with Vanagon ignitions. This is the first aftermarket tach I've found that actually works.

@@vanstechcorral oh. I just meant plane jane tachs, its hard to find them. I havent learned all about them, yet. I did learn that the stock in dash tach for a 69 chevelle only works with a points ignition, and would need an adapter for electronic ignition. Glad i read that note before i went off and ordered one.

@@rustedhorsepower5132 I converted to a Hays electronic ignition on my 68 SS396 Chevelle back in 1973 from points. It worked fine with the stock tach. A couple of years later I installed an HEI ignition and that worked too. Later I converted to TBI EFI and that worked as well. I had a CD ignition at one point in the seventies and it also worked. The reason I have a Sun Super Tach in it now, using all those ignitions over time, is only because the Sun is much easier to see due to its large face size. In each case, the tach signal is the - trigger side of the coil that either points or electronic module modulates to produce the high voltage, switching between +12VDC and 0 (ground) which causes the high voltage with the large number of windings to go out the coil wire to the distributor. It doesn't matter whether this is achieved by points opening or closing or by a transistor switching on and off. Hope this helps.

@@vanstechcorral yknow, it really didnt make sense when i read that that tach only worked with points. A negative tach pulse is just that simple. Hmmm, you've given me something to think about.

You can confirm by swapping in an HEI distributor.

Can't recall at the moment but matched from SAE size, not metric.

I used 34 foot pounds

The motor holes did not line up as this was not equipped with the opposed twin from a different tractor and had to have holes drilled. Not the correct deck either as all was free. Maybe you're right but I don't see what you are referring to.

I wish my Chevelle, that I've now had 51 happy years, had a tilt column! But they've always been beyond my price range. I got this one for the shop truck for a low price and I managed to sell my original to a gentleman whose own was trashed by attempted thieves.

@@vanstechcorral your 68 chevelle is a bit trickier. Dash mounted ignition and I believe , an older style turn signal switch. 69s were a breaking point, with more modern components used. A late model column up to about 1993 will work on a 69-72 chevelle...easy.

@@rustedhorsepower5132 I got this 93 truck column for $80. I broke even with the guy who needed my old one. I see prices like $250 regularly so a win for both of us.

@@vanstechcorral so, a while back i paid $250 for a burned up 87 camaro, i got 2 front seats, a 700r4 transmission, and a tilt column out of it. I scraped the rest of the car(a mistake in my book, it was a plain jane 305), but anyways, thats how cheap i got that column.

I don't recall size now but all were new SAE Grade 8 bolts. Matched new to old. Still using it since, but now with an electric fuel pump as bulb rubber hardened

Glad that helped!

Most welcome 😊

If I had to buy I would. But I used free parts I already had on hand.

@@vanstechcorral free parts u say? If that’s the case, what the heck. I wouldn’t even be mad at that. I prefer better quality from a reputable brand. But with these led bulbs and it’s a free kind. Fuck it why not lol.

Thank you! Cheers!

Not only are there no such ordinances... but this is a poor neighbor's vehicle, used to make deliveries for the disabled. They simply could not afford commercial shop prices. Other neighbors have been helped as well. Some vehicles made great again include those used to deliver to food pantries for the financially challenged and homeless. I'm praying you are not one of those who wants to make it illegal for churches to feed the hungry. Have you looked around lately and allowed yourself to see the financial stress growing in the country?

Exactly!

@@vanstechcorral man ur a genius I'm copying this idea

I don't think so.

The handles I got for this 1971 Chevelle don’t have the non detachable rod. What year are you working on?

@@vanstechcorral 69. I thought all years were me same

@@vanstechcorral i can see the rods in your video early on. You pulled them out of the button

I know they are not the same for 71 as they are for my 68 SS396. I honestly don't know what to tell you.

That is so.

It's not a conductor but it does prevent connector corrosion from wet weather conditions such as in Florida or the Pacific Northwest, which is a big problem. Decades of experience is the proof.
