The test was done just at idle so approx 800rpm. I will do another test at various rpms and see what I get. Also I probed at the battery for this test. I was curious as to if this would effect the readings. For a more accurate reading should I go directly off alternator stud ? Should the...

Trying to test my alternator with an oscilloscope. Posted a picture of my reading. I'm still learning to use this thing . So bare with me Does this test show an AC ripple of 55mv PKP? Is that acceptable? I also tested with a simple multimeter first. Set to AC I got a reading of .1v

I feel that anyone that owns an B body or other Mopar, has been down this road. The aftermarket 100% will never really read accurate to the gauge ( even if calibrated ).... at least not the "sweep" of the gauge . As shown in the previous post, the OEM is not a straight linear resistance path...

To be honest you can make your head spin with all the steps involved in body / paint work. I've been doing it for 20 years now. There is a very big difference from restoration or a basic collision job. The biggest part is right off the start. As soon as you open up that bare metal you really...

If I'm cruising at say 65km (40mph) and I just roll into it. I'm not going to WOT , let say an gradually increase to approx 50% . This is where I can see the lean spot. I think @BSB67 is probably going in the right direction. Depending on the day my cruise vacuum will be around 17". When I...

Thats great! I'm currently playing with mine again , after switching over to the proform main body (67101c ) I noticed I was getting a bit of light throttle / tip in problems. When I pulled the heads and did some port work this past winter the problem was even more pronounced this summer. I...

I know this is an old thread , but wondering how you made out ? Isn't the AEM gauge such a great tool ! Have to love the real time feed back !

You were right !

Well update and solution. I went and added a collar to the bottom of the distributor gear. Put everything back together and fired it up. Set timing back to 18* , gave it some throttle exact same thing ! Disconnected my Innova timing light and hooked up old school timing light. And...

Sad , very sad. "Disconnected inaccurate ramblings " it's amazing how often you describe your own actions. Same old respones, same ramblings, it's hard to watch people deteriorate. Here let me help you with your next response " maybe it's because YOU just don't understand "

Have to point out this distributor has been in the car for about 14 years. I have graphed timing curves with it . To the best of my memory I have never removed the weights , only changes the springs and adjusted the max mechanical advance I'm using a Innova timing light it's does allow me to...

Vacuum advance is not hooked up

All good had the distributor out and apart just make sure good, lubed up weights just for good measure . It's the mallory style MP distributor with the adjustable totally advance slots

I did see another post on a similar problem to mine. Checking my timing, base set 18. When I increase the rpm , the timing will initially retard instead of advance. As I keep increasing rpm the timing will eventually shoot back it normal advance curve and continue to advance. The other...

Sure hope it's not worn out. I doubt this motor even has 8000k on it . Going to pull the distributor again make sure I didn't miss anything. I have a spare ecu I could throw in there too incase it some odd ecu malfunction
