Maintenance / Front Bumper 69 Outer Bracket Fastener

« on: May 05, 2020, 11:56:13 AM »

I have scoured the internet and these outer brackets on my 69 front bumper just aren't in any assembly diagram I've ever seen.  Mine were missing when I bought it in 77.  Finally decided to get the brackets and rubber washer, but does anyone know what bolt and fastener is used?  I think the rubber washer and insert are over-sized to allow for adjustment because they are way bigger than the square hole in the bumper, that looks like it gets a standard chrome carriage bolt.   I'm sure someone out there has messed with this before me??  All suggestions welcomed.

Maintenance / Resistance Wire going to Ignition Coil

« on: April 27, 2020, 03:42:29 PM »

I too have an HEI Mallory Distributor, to get rid of points, and it requires use of the resistance wire that drops down supply voltage to the coil while in run.  However,  mine is looking kind of worn and burnt.  I've noticed that it will burn its way out of the plastic electric tape wrap of the harness over time.  Is this normal?  It makes sense that it would get warm, being a resistor, but how warm?

Does anyone know where I can buy JUST the resistance wire without having to purchase the entire harness?
