[Amc-list] building my 70' javelin

[Nick ALFANO <71amx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Armand,
 
MSD has two options for AMC V8s.  The regular Pro Billet that needs a box to run properly and the Pro Billet Ready to Run which can run on its own.  MSD is a tried and true unit and has been around for a long time.  Just the fact that they made the Ready to Run in an AMC piece is a sign that they don't plan on getting rid of the line anytime soon.  Back in the day, dual point distributors were a good upgrade to single point factory unit but they are a bit outdated compared to the electronic units.  There is also the HEI distributors as an option.  I have a few customers who swear by them and wouldn't use anything else.

I am thinking about going after the MSD pro billet distributor and a  6AL
box for my Javelin.
I bought a Mallory dual point distributor for it back in the middle to late
70s. When the cap on the distributor began to fail I had to doctor it rather
than get a replacement because Mallory doesn't make caps for the distributor
any more. My suggestion is run as fast as you can away from Mallory. I know
it's an old product but c'mon how can they not support something like that,
how tuff can it be to make a batch of distributor caps every so
often.........
Media blasting is good. Heard lots of good things about soda blasting, so
far I have been using chemical paint removers and doing panels individually.
I'm not yet convinced that using chemicals on the main body id good. It's
very important to completely neutralize the chemicals when done stripping
and protect the metal from corrosion. Media blasting removes the need for
neutralizing, but it does seem to leave all the nooks and crannies with
media falling out of them for years afterwards. If that's not a problem with
you I think media blasting would do you just fine. Protect the exposed metal
immediately. Epoxy primer rocks !!!!!!
