On Monday I will solder the leads back onto my voltmeter. Here is a list of this I have done stuff to. ECU -Put a known working one in, still ran the same -Made another ground with 2 12awg wires to the firewall Cap and Rotor -Replaced, still ran the same -I did not feel and excessive play Ballast -Put a known good one in, MSD 0.8ohm ran worse -Put old Standard one in ran the same
-Bypassed, before screwing with timing, car ran great MSD Coil
-Tried 4 different ballasts, backfired with all -Ran worst with MSD ballast -After checking all the ballasts I bypassed them OEM 30 year old coil -Car no longer backfired, made less power than usual -One day the car randomly would not rev above 2000rpm, so I fooled with the timing Plug Wires -Has Accel 8mm suppression core wires with less than 100 miles on them Plugs -Has NGK XR5 plugs with less than 100 miles -Replaced champions -Gapped at .35 Valvetrain -Visual inspection and pushing with hand showed nothing. -Some side to side play Ignition Timing -Really screwed up Carb -Float levels are correct -69 primaries -Stock secondaries -Holley 670cfm street avenger Distributor -30 year old stock unit
Looks like an ignition problem to me. If it ran great with full power to the coil than I would say that rules out all other problems right????? Concentrate on why full power is not getting to the coil using the regular wiring and take it from there. TBF
