What Are You Doing To/With Your Car Today?
Put the dizzy back in with new pickup (gapped it), cleaned up the rust/oxidization in it...all nice and clean now. Running the no vac billet MSD dizzy with MSD 6 box.
-put new Taylor 8 mm plug wires on (cyl 5 & 7 wires cooked a bit and were arcing)
-Hedder wrap on tube #3 and plug wire boot protectors put on 5 & 7
-New cap and rotor and coil
-New plugs about 3 weeks ago
Still ran like an old farm truck, poor throttle sharpness response (can tell a cylinder isn't firing or something to that effect). Getting some "rattling" from valve train now on acceleration.....or sounds like it.
-Pulled plugs and cyl #2 plug is like new, can tell that cylinder is not combusting...all other plugs have color.... brown with slight white, so maybe a bit leanish. (see pic)
-Test all cylinders to make sure they are getting spark with timing light....all are.
Went to do a compression test on #2, but my comp. tester is a little messed up.....lol....will have to get a new one or fix this one.
Will have to pull the valve cover and see if all rockers, etc are working fine, but I suspect that a valve or something is fuxored, due to the rattle I hear from that side.
Will have to wait until Tues, as work gets in the way now.
With #2 showing signs of no combustion and that rattle now......probably suspecting a stuck valve, burnt valve, or ?????
Anyone with more experience, have any preliminary outlook????? I know it will just be a guess until I can crack open the valve cover :mad:
