Just a question because there is much I do not know. Would not fuel distribution in the intake after low bowl levels be affected by a low fuel pressure ? Then resulting in a miss fire ? Not saying that is the culprit this time but in my past I have ran into that.

If the plug check and compression test goes good just for the heck of it try another coil. Got my fingers crossed it's not anything bad.

Bob, post 3 he did pull the covers and check springs and adjustment of the solids.

Mabey ? Was not sure yet if he has a mechanical or electric pump. Seems like each time I chase a fuel problem it ends up electrical/ ignition or if I chase a ignition problem it ends up fuel . Lol. I sure hope for his sake it's not internal, Just the day at the track slow progression down the...

I hear you , :thumbsup: 4 to 5 , I think is fine prob my cheap gauge lol . Then the jump at throttle hit under load should for sure show a problem or not with fuel , just what the Op was describing made me think of a dying pump. Possible to plumb in a gauge he can see and take it for a...

If nothing else slap another 12 volt coil on it.

Well if it won't miss fire sitting check your fuel pressure. But yes if you do check the cylinders sitting just pull one and replace at a time and listen for the no change cyl. Also not trying to sound stupid but you may be sucking crap into your filter or just have some bad fuel , water ect.

Just a thought , but check your fuel pressure at idle and were its starting to miss fire. You should have at least 8lbs or a hair more under load. Idle at least 5

If it is now having a miss fire at 2000 rpm. Start pulling plug wires one at a time and replacing to see what cyl is going dead on you.

Battery tenders, local guy here lost 3 cars in a shop fire. 70 chevelle ss, 36 Ford , 37 Ford. The fire started in the area of one of the tenders and the outlet is was plugged into. Insurance paid, they called it electrical . I posted pics of the resulting mess a couple years back. My tender...

Time for your nap Bob.

If our illustrious member is done listing his pedigree and suggesting you convert your 1975 318 to points. I did search and copy a post @HALIFAXHOPS made some time back that may be of help. (The only difference in the circuit / ECM with the dual ballast is that the second ballast resistance...

Another vote for pertronix , been useing their conversion for years.

I am useing the 9.5 plate like Halifax has. Perfect for my 440 and cam, 1 light spring and it's all in right were the cam and T quad turn on. Initial is sitting at 17

Well ... I did read, your post #5 you suggest a ( newer style bracket may work with some spacers ) I just thought I would show the OP the 76 and later oem set up that he could possibly set up as per your advice. They are different in mounting aspect , no idler , stamped ,not cast as his pics...

1976 440 with AC.

Nothing but net , from the 3 point line. :lol:

Check over your wiring, also like Tony said check the bulk head connection. Also ck the starter relay .

Yes your right, I stand corrected, the leece nivilles with the high amp out put were for the comercial trucks.

Your welcome, At the age I am it did take me some time to get used to useing search engines like Google and the one on here is great. The old leece neville alternators off C body cars i think we're in the 140 / 160 amp area. Guys on here like to joke around but as we see some folks have a bit...
