no


It’s surprisingly not as loud as you’d think due the c-body sound padding haha but the neighbors probably don’t like me very much... up

I’d have it set to 4000ish RPM as a right foot limiter during break in process haha. Its all to easy to go light years past that just cruising with the low rear it has in it. Going 65mph on the highway on my way to work it would be spinning 3500 RPM, one accidental down shift from partial throttle kickdown and it would scream immediately. I know this current engine is already broken in, but in the worse case of something failing I want to not worry about the next one.

Pertronics 600 rev limiter is for inductive ignitions and is adjustable from 100 to 9900rpm.

In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice, there is.

Thanks a lot, your helps very appreciated! So just to be sure and as a redundant check before I pull the trigger on buying it, the Pertronix 600 is able to be wired directly into the Orange Box & Distributor ignition circuit and they will play nice together?

According to their website it will work.
https://pertronixbrands.com/products/pertronix-600-digital-rev-limiter

Actually nothing gets wired to the ecu or distributor.

Non-HEI type systems. (FIGURE 1)
1. Attach the BLACK wire to a good engine ground. Make sure to remove
any dirt or paint beforehand.
2. Attach the RED wire to a 12 volt power source controlled by the ignition
switch.
3. Attach the YELLOW wire to the coil’s negative terminal.
4. The ORANGE wire is not used for Non-HEI type systems. Use the provided
end splice to isolate this wire.
5. The WHITE wire is a tachometer output, compatible with most modern
tachometers

The photo of the valley pan reminds me of my cousin. Probably around 1977 or so he had a 69 RR that he blew up a bunch of 383's in. He had bought a junk yard 383 and put it in the car. We couldnt get it to start and he was turning the distributor as I was cranking it. The engine popped, blew the valley pan up and almost blew the valve covers off, they were junk after that LOL.

R.I.P. Wade, I miss you buddy.

Small update on the car, I’ve been driving it around and giving out small beatings here and there, so far it’s seems fine. Had a small breaking up ignition issue but that apparently was just the rev limiter having issues with the Orange Box. Thanks again for everyone’s help forgot how much fun it was to drive the old girl. drive

Rev limiters work by NOT firing random cylinders. If you run it up against the limiter it will in fact "break up". You can't use it like a governor or cruise control.

Gotcha, It was breaking up at about 3000 RPM it was set for 5700 RPM. In the future I’ll eventually just upgrade to a MSL style box and it may work with that.
