Ok here are the pics of the car that I am going to buy. I worked on getting it running and I believe I think I know what's wrong with it. I wasnt getting any spark to the spark plugs. So I traced it all the way back to the MSD. I believe the MSD is bad but wanted to ask you guys for sure before I go and spend 300 bucks. There is a gold box to the right of the MSD, not sure what this is. I did check the transformer and I am getting voltage from there. I checked the MSD as per their website and from what I can tell its not providing spark. But what is the gold box? Wanted to make sure it might be something simple and I am missing it before I spent the 300 bucks. |

In another thread, he had stated that one of his relatives owned a Pawn Shop. The PO apparently stopped paying the loan money back on the pawned car and he had spotted it in amongst other things in a storage facility. An agreement was made to purchase the car for $1500 (which I would have jumped on). I think he said the car had been sitting about 5 years. His relative would start it occasionally to move it, but it stopped starting. I don't think I am dreaming ............... You are correct. But it was in the wearhouse for around 3 years, my uncle would start it and move it around to access more space or move it more out of the way within those 3 years he would start it. Up until a few weeks ago he went to start it and it wouldnt start. I will stop over there after work and take abunch of pics of the engine and post them. Thanks guys |
