SUM 850610 digital CD ignition
Raising this thread back from the dead....muuaahahahaha:grin:
I installed the summit street n strip ignition (part # SUM 850610) in my 1971 Satellite about a week ago. Install was pretty easy, my first time wiring up an ignition system like this. Directions were pretty easy to understand, even for my A.D.H.D. brain! Once I had everything wired up correctly she fired right up!! Amazing since the car hadn't ran in about a year! I was extremely excited, the 440 had never started so easy, didn't even have to pump the pedal once before starting. Just blip the key and VARROOM. The prospects for the future looked bright.:headbang:
Well, that was the good news.
This past Friday night I fired her up and moved her into the driveway. Then suddenly it just shut off. Definately have fuel flow... I checked all my fuzes, swapped in a fresh battery, swapped in a new coil, went through the Summit troubleshooting procedures over and over and I could not get any spark. WTF?????? I called the Summit tech line and they are sending out a new box, I have to drop the old one in the mail today. Anyway, that sucks. I hope it's just a case of a "bad box" and the new one I get works and doesn't shell out.
I love having this old girl and it's been a labor of love, but sometimes I am starting to feel like it's been a lot of labor and not much love :angry1:
