I had an MSD ignition for many years that was U.S. made. It gave up a couple of years ago. Went with Mancini stock style box because I didn't want the new MSD made in China item on the car.

I contacted Topher McGuiness this past June for the low speed ballast for my wiper motor. Excellent guy to deal with. I had the ballast within a week or so.

Awesome! I really appreciate your help. Huge help.

That's great. I really appreciate your help!!!!

Thanks

Just read your message and I'm relieved to learn you had a similar issue that is somewhat normal. Thanks! Chryco also suggested an oil cooler. The motor has a stock oil pump. The car does have an oil light that does work but didn't come on. The builder came well recommended and used good...

This is a new 408 stroker motor, (not a rebuilt) with just over 2000 miles. Unfortunately I don't have a hoist readily available at my disposal. Also I'm a novice at best. Is there any methodology to determine the issue without removing the pan? When the engine starts from cold it runs at 55 psi...

I use the Wix 51068 oil filter. Apparently Fram filters are no good these days I've been told.

The oil pump in mine is a stock pump. I'm not as experienced or knowledgeable as most of you folks. Thus probably not going to be doing any surgery anytime soon...

Thanks. It's a new motor with no oil leaks or any other fluid leaks I didn't want to start taking off the pan etc unless I'm certain and it's necessary. I'm not the world's best or luckiest mechanic! Only drive the car 2200 miles a year if that. Just realized I may not even drive another two...

Last Thursday or Friday somebody told me it was because I'm using a stock ignition coil resistor with an MSD Blaster coil???

Thanks for the reply. Sounds similar to my situation. There was a large Mopar show a couple of hours from me yesterday but decided not to go as I didn't have confidence in the motor.

Thanks

Thanks for the reply. Virtually brand new motor - August 2024. It was the first two hour drive I have taken.

Thanks for the reply. Great suggestions. I do have a spacer but not sure if it's Coolcarb brand. Don't have an infrared temp gauge.
