RE: new electronic distributor problems

[Steven Charette <stevec@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Zack,
	It is my understanding that MP electronic ignitions need at least
11VDC to operate properly... I also remember that an electronic voltage
regulator was highly recommended with the MP systems (probably for this very
reason).  I think your hunch is spot on - you may need to pump up your
charging system a bit.

Subject: new electronic distributor problems


Installed the Mopar Performance electronic ignition conversion kit with MP
high-voltage coil in my 64 Dodge Polara 383 engine. Works fine, but when
there is a power draw such as lights and/or AC running, the car stalls when
the car is idling in drive. This is not due to low idle, but it seems to be
an electrical problem. I know the new coil puts out a lot more voltage--is
there some adjustment I need to make? The voltage regular is the
original--would a new one make a difference? Seems like it's not sending
enough voltage through to feed the ignition system. 

Also, perhaps an unrelated problem. Shortly after install, I had problems
starting the vehicle--won't turn over, seems like a neutral safety switch
issue. Any connection, you think?
