Placeholder for build. Pics to come shortly.
yup that is the filter. It looks to be original and as simple as it is to swap I might start there myself. Again make sure the power/rca's are not ran together, ideally one down one side and one down the other.
that is a good question. If I am not mistaken its just a capacitor and if I would not be worried about getting the universal replacement. You might need to cut the harness of your old one and solder it to the new one but it should work.Cool, I'll see about just getting a replacement. I've got power down the driver side, and speaker/RCA running down the passenger side. I didn't mess with moving the amp ground, I wasn't feeling working on the car much this weekend.
EDIT: Having a hard time locating a replacement - any sources? The one linked above is for late 60s models.
EDIT 2: found some "universal" ones at rockauto....I'm guessing any of those would work?
Isn't that ground up by the oil filter area on the front of the motor? If your looking for an easy and solid place to add one go from the chassis to one of the bolts that holds the starter in place. The starter is a high current draw anyway, I added one a few years ago when I was having slow start issues.Went to the muffler shop last night and got the Borlas installed (ProXS). They definitely tamed down the exhaust some. It still sounds good, but not as obnoxious. I'm not sure on the drone yet, I took the backroads home as it was a straighter shot. It's a pretty mellow tone, and I think it's going to sound pretty good at WOT. I didn't have a good chance to really get into it. Turns out the factory cats are gutted, so we just left them in place. There wasn't any heat in them and you could see where they had been cut/welded. That would also explain the raw exhaust smell. I also had him weld up the bung where the smog pump went in, I previously just had a hose with a spark plug clamped on it.
I tried to look for the block to chassis ground while it was on the rack, but had no luck. I also saw the name plate/plaque on the header, but I couldn't make the brand out.
