I Drove This 1969 Dodge Charger 1800 Miles With A Broken Distributor... Let's Fix It!
In this video: distributor basics, understanding timing control systems, distributor restoration, tuning and setting ignition timing with a timing light and by ear, and a tiny burnout. I drove this 1969 Dodge Charger most of the way back to Washington State from Chicago, IL. It turns out that for all 1800 of the miles the car made it, it had no functioning timing curve. I realized this toward the end of the trip when the poop was starting to hit the pavement. After making it home, @rocketresto and I replaced the head gaskets and did a nice clean up job on the engine. I then attempted to tune the engine... completely forgetting about the broken distributor. Thankfully, a bunch of commenters reminded me about this, so now it's time to deal with the last big mechanical problem on the Otter Pop Charger.
