    Coil for the 429 SCJ with 11.3 compression pistons

    My 429 SCJ was rebuilt with new, 11.3 compression pistons. So, my coil and points keep burning out rather quickly. I use a NAPA coil and points which also have failed.

    Stem to Stern: New Exhaust System on the 1971 Mach 1, 429 SCJ

    My exhaust system was the last step taken in my "every-nut-and-bolt" restoration, completed in 2019. But some design mistakes were made and I had to live with them for the last 2 years. So, I had the entire system replaced. I used Magna Flow mufflers, the factory-original tips, and added an...
