Need help with rebuild
Work has been insane. I appreciate all the responses about our issues. After going to Good Guys in Columbus and talking to many people we think we have the issue down to the ignition. We changed out the ignition to a Mopar one with the ballast resister but continued to have wiring issues. We spoke to someone at MSD and they suggested adding the street fire box. He said this would clean up our wiring issues. We plan on finishing this tomorrow afternoon. If anyone has suggestions on the wiring of this I could use the help.
Thanks,
Ralph
WOW,a bunch of strangers who have never laid eyes on,listened to,touched, or
smelled your vehicle decided it was ign,?AndyZ is rite,and what you need is ONE
person who can diag. that thing for you, not twenty.The guy at MSD is just trying
to sell you product,and the wiring sugg. are in the instr.s,which is his job after all.
Double check the basics,did you mix timing cover/dampers w/another eng.,if you
verify TDC's 1&6 are on w/ the marks aligned,recheck valve lash isn't too tite,it's
not the same spec if cam is perf. replacement(i.e."purpleshaft")the spec. is way
looser. I know you just reblt it,but do a comp. check anyway,and be sure the batt.
is fresh and fully charged,and use a booster as you try this thing repeatedly.If
you are checking the timing cranking & it's OK and the marks R on,spark strength
is next,a spare plug w/the grd. electrode cut just B4 the bend is good enuff. if it
can jump that it will start a car.As others have said,this is basic eng. stuff,let us
know what you find, fresh fuel in eng.& the above items OK means fire so....:coffee2:
