Okay well is set at 32 car is running well. Only issue is when I put my foot into it it dies out and wants to stall. If I feather it nicely it runs like a dream. We've checked idle screw adjustments vacuum is good. The only thing I can think of at this point might be the fuel filter or the...
We have the point system on. We have the reluctor Gap set at 016. We have the rotor in the right position. We have fuel. Dwell is 32. Plug wires are in the right order. We've got it running smoothly, but now it stalls at idle. When we have it on the road it will bog down and stall when I put my...
Okay let me start over.
1. The car was running, but it wasn't running as nice as I would like. So I thought I would put in the electronic ignition conversion set that I got in a trade. It came out of a later 318(78) although I don't believe that should make a difference. The engine had been in a...
I screwed up somewhere. I don't know if the electronic ignition was working when I bought it, but I could not seem to get it to work for love and or money. I've now tried going back to points. But I cannot seem to get the car running. I can get it to run for maybe 20-30 seconds sputtering...
It's a 318. And yes it should be 10°. But it was not happy, that's why I think there is an issue somewhere with the electronic ignition conversion set. I got it second hand. Thank you Geoff 2, that is what I was looking for. The only other thing I could have asked for we ould be pictures or a...
Well, my experiment with the Orange box / electronic ignition hasn't worked out so well. We've got the car running, but I cannot seem to set the timing for love nor money. I'm currently left with two options. One reinstall the original points ignition. I would probably just do a rebuild of the...
Finally got around to starting the process. I am just waiting for the fibreglass base to cure. Basically getting my feet wet by making a baseplate so I can use my new K&N X-stream filter top. Next up will be working on determining the measurements for a sealable air-box with a flapper.
Pretty sure the fuel pump is fine, it only happens on really hot and humid days when I get stuck in traffic, or if I'm sitting in a Drive-Thru I'm behind somebody else. Pretty sure the fuel is boiling and it's causing the problem. I guess there isn't a factory return line I could splice into on...
I have developed a recent issue with Vapor lock. It seems the local Government thought it would be a good Idea to mandate a minimum amount of Ethanol in local gasoline. Unfortunately we have been experiencing a number of very hot/humid days, and I keep stalling in traffic. I've watched a bunch...
Ok, I think it's all hooked up correctly. Turns over but not catching. Tried to position everything the same as the old dist. I hope to have a friend over tomorrow to assist in adjustment to get it running so we can set the timing.
