finally found a combination that got the car running. used an accel points eliminator with a mallory coil, with a ballist resister still using the wire running to fuse panel. went ahead and timed everything and seemed to b running just fine. we were so happy everything was working, we dicided that everything was looking pretty gaudy around coil,(ballist resister was mounted on top of coil, and plug wires were laying in a bad spot)so we thought we could use the factory power and resister wire coming from car and wire it up to a blaster coil that had been used before, and worked, and everything would have a much cleaner look. we hooked everything up and got nothing, no spark! so tested the blaster coil, and it was shot! dont know how it went bad, but it did. so hooked everything back up to the way it was when it ran before, and now wouldnt fire again. checked mallory coil and ballist resister and they were fine, so i guess the module in distributor is fried once again!when we asked the techs at accel how the blaster coil could work with a accel pointless ignition for 2 1/2 years without any problems, he said "we just got lucky"! come to find out the mallory coil carries lower ohms than the blaster coil, and with the ballist resistor, it kept the module from getting fried. after fighting this problem for a couple weeks now, i have decided to go to a drop in hei distributor. a pointless system may work fine, but right now i dont trust it.
if u happen to still b reading this? does anyone know what the correct timeing should be for a 67 400? have it set at 10 degrees advanced. bad thing is i dont know when or how it was rebuilt or if rebuilt at all. i would say it is a rebuilt motor, the module in distributor was from 2005. restoration that was done on it was all to stock, if that helps?
