Thanks. Just purchased 1983 W350 with a 360 and it was in a mess. Distributor is Part #4111950 which was not listed in the 1983 parts manual, assuming it is ok for a 360, only looks like it is for a 318, no matter I think because they are both small block V-8's. At any rate, very dirty so had to dis-assemble, clean and put her back on. If it wasn't for this video would have had to use a Made in China Distributor with a black cap. Everyone knows-Dodge' don't use Black caps in 1983. Merca!

thank you great video

A 78 with a cab fuel tank?

Great job on explaining this issue and slotting the screw holes is absolutely brilliant 👍👍👍

Great video- exactly what I was looking for! One Q- In my manual and on Uncle Tony's Tune up vid, there's mention of a felt oil retainer hiding inside the shaft, presumably lubricating the works? I don't see one here, nor did I find one in my Plymouth..

Mopar mike what wheel size and tire are you running on the truck?

What oil pan did u use?

Been there done that but in a rental Durango....;/

Very helpful video. Thank you.

How do you remove the rotor?

Beautiful car! Nice cruise!👍

I love that car!

You're telling me the factories who made certain models of distributors screwed up the rotor phasing so bad that you have to modify the position of the breaker plate/pick-up to correct it? Or get an adjustable rotor, an adjustable cap, an adjustable breaker plate or pickup, or install a crank trigger. I'm thinking this doesn't apply to 99% of classic car people...but cool modification if it really was necessary...btw people, without one of those parts I mentioned THERE IS NO ADJUSTING ROTOR PHASING, just had to be clear.

😊👍

Nice work - so you used a 1972 kit? What aluminum rad are you using?

Thanks. I need to flush a GM 5.7. Changed a freeze plug and could feel about 2 inches of rust in the bottom of the block. What is the best way to flush that? I think it was from the failed Dexcool stuff that had to be taken off the market due to rusting engine blocks.

Nice!

It's not a cold start when your in Arizona.

Hey man, nice song and GREAT cars!!!

Nice...no GREAT view and sound Greg! Love the sound and the twisties!

What kit do you recommend to delete leanburn on a1978 Chrysler with 400 engine?

Nice installation! Great tips on the installation! Looks great too!👍

buenas noches que numero de neumaticos traera esa camioneta

Question-Pregunta? Alguien que sepa, porque tiene esta version doble toma de gasolina?

Hay John I have a 318 mag and I can't get any fire from the distributer I have replased rotor cap and caol what is it

Good stuff Greg!

Thanks!

Cool new life!👍

I challenge you to disable your vac adv & shine the light in the drilled hole in the cap & rev the eng & you will find that phasing does not change. Also move your initial & you also will find that phasing does not change. Only vac adv changes phasing. excellent idea to slot the mounting plate holes on the side of the dist which again will only change the phasing range that vac adv adds. not sure if the vac adv mounting would need to be changed slightly to accomodate this but I am going to do it as I run vac adv. Some mounting plates have a roll pin locator in the housing wall which would need to be removed. on a side not Echlin has a rotor with a longer (.060" iirc) blade which will reduce the gap & help with phasing issues.

Hi, Greg, Thanks for the vid. I found out why I had an occasional tick at idle. I measured the gap w my brass feeler .008" and half were in spec, the rest at .010. I tried to set the closest to .008. My technique not so good. Starting the engine, i heard loud ticking!! Popped the cap and noticed the center shaft has play. I only have a few thousand miles on this Mopar model - new when I bought it. I went and reset the closest to .010" and ticking all gone. If you read this, can u tell me if the shaft should be moving?? It's about .004" play. Thank you

@13:45. Great point! Thanks

Good job.

Most people thread the casting and use screw in jets. That way changes that are enviable to change size is much easier. Yes drill and tap should be done on a bench and blown off to avoid chips internally.

Totally rad!

I loved that distributer set up. MOPAR or no car

Thanks that helped me out a lot not a Mopar person but you explained a lot and in great detail

What can I do to lower my shift points?

Another Arizona Car Guy!!!

love benny and the jets playing in the back that’s awesome

Good video !! All the best to you and yours Sir.

Very good trick for the gap. Thank you.

I can't here you speak up

Well said! I remember struggling with that concept several years ago.

Not all vacuum advanced cans are the same, some are adjustable, some are preset and have stoppers on the arm of it and some are Electronicly controlled with one wire.

Using the dollar bill is a good idea. The gap should be .008 but it needs to be set at full vacuum of the vacuum advance because when vacuum is applied by the motor it brings the pickup closer to the relucter.

❤ good looking out

Great job! Great tip!👍

A great setup that some people don't get right! I'm always glad to see a properly working PCV system!👍

Very helpful. Thanks

Great fix! Looks great too!👍
