Popping through exhaust I believe has to do with carb-fuel. Mine popped through exh an fouled plugs, did u look at your plugs? Pop through carb I think has to do with timing.

I had problems with 1 relay 30 amp on a double fan so I ordered a second one just like the one the guy from summit suggested, thinking this would solve the problem. After messing with it a dozen different ways I called summit tech support turns out I need a double relay set up that goes with my...

So after installing rotor an dist cap and tightening ground back up, it seemed to fire right up? I've been following all the checks you guys have given me. I just checked the last one Inertia gave me an sure as sh-t after I shut it off fuel is trickling down. I did check the float level when I...

Thanks for all the help. I had to work on my daughters neon this last weekend an didn't have time to mess with my old car. I did go in the garage tonight after work an install a new rotor an cap. She fired right off an ran fine, but my fan set up I ordered was sent with only one relay an the...

It's bare metal with a ground wire as well.

it's original if u mean turn key.

It sure seems like something is lose I just haven't found it yet. I have pulled all bolts that attach component an sanded clean an reinstalled an also added ground wires to chrome box. Thanks for the input, I hope to find it the weathers getting to nice to let it sit in the garage.

So it's doing it still. I had thought I got it, but the weather around here hasn't been that nice so I haven't had my car out. I spent the day in the garage wiring elec fans an checking for leaks on a radiator I put in. I did follow directions on the wiring. This problem existed before I wired...

Turned out to be the Orange box. Installed a chrome box fired right up.

Holley 750 double pumper, yes I do have a regulator on the pressure is set at 5.5

Yes it's the yellow 8140. It had the chrome one but I don't know which part number that one was. I do have a voltmeter.

Small block with mp distributor and orange box, ballestor, super stock coil. carter electric fuel pump still on the car I have'nt got around to swapping out to my walbro 392. But the carter seems to keep up with it even with the mini blower on it. The last time this happened I thought it was the...

So I had a coil go out on me last spring, just switched it out to a new one and whala it fired up. Well it happend again, this time at the grocery store. Seemed like the exact same symptom so I ran to the auto parts store and grabbed another accel super stock coil installed it and no luck. It...

I've been a pipe welder fitter for about 25 years that's why I was wondering if I messed something up when I was welding. I guess cars are a little different then alot of equipment I've been around. I've screwed up some pretty exspensive equipment by striking an ark with the ground to far away...

Yeah, the coil only had about 200 miles on it though. Maybe I should carry some spare parts. lol.

So it seems as though its fixed. I changed the coil and man it fired right up did'nt spit or sputter, I let it warm up and idle for about 10 minutes shut it off came in house, let it cool down and turned it on and off about 5 times to see if the problem showed up so far so good. Now to take it...

Key turned to on position - coil side 1.1 + coil side 4.4 Ballest mounted on driver side fire wall was 4.5 and 9.8 with key turned to on position. 4 prong plug going to orange box was 10.5 on two posts, the battery may be a bit low I had had to turn lights and hazards on when it was being towed...

Sorry I did'nt say what I was working on. It's a 68 dart with a stroker small block in it. Beings how it would fire off and run I assumed it was getting spark and fuel. But with it sputtering kinda like a miss I was thinking electrical. Thats why I was leaning towards the orange box. No I...

Thanks, I will give that a try. Thanks for the input and a path forward.

Maybe it was my unlucky day an it went out coincidently after I did some welding and I am just linking it to the welding. I don't know.. I am not even sure if that's the problem for sure at this point. I've never had a old car with electronic distributor that had one of those boxes go out so I...

Do u think that's it? I was leaning that way, as the car would start but not run for very long and not run well when it was running. Kinda like it was missing a bit then die.

Yeah, I made sure it was a good connection. It turned over real good just, no fire on a on off basis.

I just fineshed welding in sub frame connectors and took my car for a drive to see if there was any differance. Before welding I did disconnect the negative battery cable. The car ran great before but when I started it up it seemed to run rougher then normal and took a little longer to warm up...

The shop that tuned my car disconnected the vacuum, and choke. My car would foul plugs endlessly and after they had it back at there shop for the 4th time they pulled the power valve upjetted primary's disconnected vacuum and choke and set timing at 22 initial. Knock on wood it has'nt fouled a...

I've recently gotten my car back from a shop that tuned it and it's running great. But theres this guy at work that races at bandamere and says I't would run even better with the distributor locked out. It's currently 22 initial and runs fine but some times starts a little hard but other times...

thanks for the input. I don't have a dust shield, and it looked like it was touching the flywheel, I reached up with a screwdriver to see if the gear would go back far enough not to touch but it wouldn't. So it would have definitely made some noise I think. I did have to shim it to get it off...

So I finally got some time off from work and I plan on firing up my car this weekend, but. I got this little starter from autozone I think I got it for a 2000 Dakota 5.2 if I remember right. Well I put it on my car and it's a little hard to tell but it looks like the gear on the starter might be...

I will look for the plastic wire male connection at napa or something to make the connection to the plastic piece. I was actually hoping to find a little starter with just the prongs to make it easy but autozone only had the one with the plastic piece on it for a plug connection.

Somewhere on here I have read u can use a newer style starter off of a Dakota 5.2 on an older engine but I can't find it now. Well I just bought a 1999 starter from autozone and it has a little plastic piece to receive a little plug of sort and a prong like a regular starter. The starter is tiny...
