Great video Joe, I needed you around when I was 22, it would have made things a lot easier for me.

Thanks for the tutorial. Installed an FBO plate today; diminished the off-idle stumble significantly!

Another good info video been wondering how to hook up the ignition Thanks for sharing I am ordering the fbo plate today

Installing mine tomorrow thanks Joe!!!

Hey sorry about the question I looked at the video again and saw that the info was in the very beginning and I hadn't caught that part thanks so much!

Hey Joe, I have used the FBO plates several times in various engines. In my experience the plate slots are close to what they say they are but not exact. For instance the 10* slot may actually be 12*, etc. All in all they are so much easier than welding up the slot and then filing it open to get where you want to be. Great video.

I have the FBO plate inside my '77 van, they work great! Good idea putting he 360 in...

As usual no nonsense getting it done and ready to go.

Once again you show something I knew nothing about. Good deal! That motor sounds awesome!

360! Hell yeah dude. This summer is going to be a blast.

Wow you're all set you have probably have that going by the time I watch this video sure will be nice to see that one going you've made this an awesome bracket racer right

Great video! That plate is such a good idea. I could see using it to measure one to weld up too.

Hey Joe. With that port job you did on those heads and that mild cam you put in there, I think in a quarter mile you should be in the 13s to High 12s in the quarter mile. Sounds like a winning combination. Just get that gear right in the back and you should do great in your 8th mile races. As usual great show.

Joe when replacing the distributor in a 440 does the mushroom end or the pointed end of the rotor bug point toward #1 cylinder

hey joe, have you ever tried the rev-n-ator ignition box and distributor. they work real good i had one in my 68 roadrunner and it made a big difference on that 383 and the prices arent too bad if you ask me. maybe you can check them out

I'm glad I watched your video because I hadn't heard of this FBO plate kit before. Where can I get it and approximately what does it cost? I have a 68 Cuda and 2 Chalkengers a 70 and a 71 and a 70 Cuda I'm thinking of starting a channel showing the trials and tribulations of your common everyday bracket racer lol 😆 I live in a area with very poor wifi internet speeds and I'm afraid it would be a chore trying to upload my content. Thanks for this video it may save me time when changing curves on these cars

Hi Joe, wish you had covered the air gap between the pickup coil and the reluctant. I have a friend who says it doesn't matter and I am saying it does. I have always set mine at .008 with a brass feeler. Long story short, what.do you say? Thanks, keep up the great video's. Terry Beck

From 12:20 on your timing light was out of view, so with your initial at 26 when you revved it up it went to 36? cause that fbo plate you put on restricted it to only getting 10 more degrees? when you first started it after putting the new distributor in it was only at 6, you rotated the distributor till it got to 26? sounded aaesome, thanks for video

Nothing like playing with a spark in time using your hands to do the work instead of a keyboard or a touch screen that's why I love these old cars! there is susposed to be a small circlip holding the reluctor to the shaft remove and it pops off but being a cardone it may not have one ok no i looked again and no the circlip holds the too plate they controls the weights movemend the reluctor should be a press fit with roll pin for location oh well only human lol!

After using the’10 slot, what is the initial and total timing numbers?

Good video. Dude, get rid of that Edelbrock carburetor and put you a nice brawler750 on there.

Am I understanding that this fbo plate doesn’t let the weights fly out past what degrees you set the holes to? I ported heads and put a four barrel intake and carb on my 318, dropped in a fbo plate at 14 and set my initial time at idle to 18 degrees and it falls flat on its face around 2500RPM almost if my secondary’s aren’t kicking in or something, do you have any ideas? It screams off idle until I hit that rpm or 45 mph ish.

Awesome 👍🏼👍🏼

Is this the same idea we’re uncle tony welds his distributor he put a spot or two so it won’t move I guess

As always great video Joe 😎👍🏁 . If you ever need your distributor or distributors rebuilt properly and re done with NOS and or new made in america parts check out Joe's distributor repair on Facebook . he's a mopar guy and very knowledgeable and will build a stock unit or modify it to fit your modified engine/ vehicle. even the parts store units he will rebuild. he also rebuilds chevy distributors

I ran for 9 years with no ballast resistor never burned up the stock coil.

You got me confused, you started with a 22 initial and 32-34 final. then you said you wanted about 34 final but wanted to lower the intial to make it turn over a little easier, all makes sense. Then you put in the plate on the 10 degree slot, looks like you stopped it from reaching 34 if you lower your intial from where you started. I see the value of the video showing the install of the plate, just though I'm missing something. Also, have you ever looked at Speeduino? There is a small one, NO2C that uses an Arduino board and you can lock it all out and program with a laptop. The device is for FI but I've read a lot where people are using it for just timing control. Just thought it might be something you would be interested in. Great vid and thanks for the link, I'm going to check them out. DC

👍

What cfm carburator is that? Joe

Hey mopar Joe . Why you dont need a balast resistor?
