Got the 123Ignition yesterday, I pushed all of my projects back!
"Sorry granny I'll get to those bearings on your heart/lung machine soon, I promise." Blocked out 3 hours for the removal and install. Added about an hour to charge the battery. Installed as expected, there is a spacer that is necessary for type 4, just slides over the dizzy shaft. I decided to route the wires and vacuum away from the fan so access to the vacuum nipple was easier, since the vacuum can is gone there's a lot more space. Followed the instructions but made the mistake of using the TDC 0* instead of the 27* as the basic timing point. I just walked the dizzy CCW until she started! Didn't do anything other than matched my timing with my idle, I let her run till she settled down. Just around the block once, ha ha the trailer hitching is GONE! Responsive throttle, man! Setting up a tuning session, nice 150 mile run up the California coast with the AFR meter. Mike |

OK so I am going through the ignition wiring, the wire on cyl # 2 is pulled away from the spark plug connector about 1/4 inch, ah ha, this could be the reason for the miss.
"Granny I'll be back in a few, just need to get some gas and put a few miles on the car to see if it's running ok. Wow she has finaly quieted down." 5 gallons premium and off to the 118 freeway. Oil temp still cool, running nice accelerates smoothly. Oil temps coming up, freeway speed 80mph, as I look at the oil temp gauge, 185*F, just about 8 miles and.... something changed, loosing power, missing. Pull over, check wiring. Cyl #4 spark plug connector, disconnected completely. Reconnect and we're off again. Few miles feels ok, then, the same missing, losing power. Plug wire came off again? Pull over and wires seem fine. looking closer I see the vacuum line has come loose from the dizzy, lets try again. That didn't help much it has the same strange missing, sort of a intermittent connection. I give up for now. |
