It was a different friend who told me what it sounded like.
It did make it from Missoula to St. Louis with not a single issue. He said he'd give me $1000 bucks for it cash tomorrow. Honestly, I don't...
@31Vicky we solved the issue lol, now we're talking about other issues! ;)
It's not a particular lack of knowledge, it's me just being done with it. I may have dropped a tool behind the motor where the TC is I guess.
I just don't have the money to fix it or chase down the issue.
Because I was messing with the distributor and I guess it came off, because there's a knocking noise that wasn't there before that is neither...
Well, checking the timing was my downfall. Went to adjust the timing and the oil drive gear or rod went into the oil pan most likely, because my...
Y'all are the fucking best. The magnetic pickup wiring was backwards, even though I'm pretty sure I followed the instructions. She runs!!!!!!!!!...
I smell alot of gas when it's running for the short time it does, giving it gas doesnt really help. I'm outside it right now. Gonna try switching...
Would there really be no sign of it beforehand?
Nope :/
UPDATE: According to this, if the wiring is backwards, it would throw off my timing up to 20°, which considering my symptoms and the fact that I...
Everything with a harness from Speedway Motors.
I'll check all the connections when I get home
It looks like shit now since I'm just thrashing to get it done and going to clean it up once I know it works. Is there a way that me grounding...
The HyFire box and the same distributor was what it ran with before, but I pulled out the box thinking I didn't need it and had to reinstall it
Could it cause what I'm describing though? Could just two plug wires being switched cause this? My work is definitely not flawless and is...
Thank you for the kind words, squirrel. I've spent every waking moment of everyday since Friday that I have that doesn't involve working at my...
Thank you for essentially calling me an idiot. The wiring description was correct, otherwise, I'd either have no spark, I'd not have the box turn...
Sorry, I misspoke. That's how I hooked it up
I'm not sure how much pictures will help because the wiring is a mess right now, just trying to thrash on it to get it done and clean it up later....
I will do both. Just in case neither of those works, is it possible my box is fried? I'll also tell you what I wired each of the box wires to...
Is Mallory made my MSD? All I know is it's a Mallory HyFire VI product number 685. I feel like the Pick-up wires might be reversed...would them...
If I had the negative from the box going to the positive on the mag pickup, and vice versa, would it still send out a spark but at the wrong time?...
I'll take some pics as soon as I get home from work. I said unilite...I meant MSD. It's a points to Electronic conversion. The only thing I know...
I had that problem before and we fixed it!
I may have by accident while wiring up the pickup but I didn't do it on purpose. It wouldn't shock me if it's timing,I hope it is because that's...
So I'm rewiring my truck, and I'm trying to make it run. It ran before I pulled all the wiring and it will somewhat run now, except after a few...
Haha, everyone thinks I've never turned a wrench lol. I certainly had, I just desperately need my truck to be in tip top shape before I leave...
I'd almost prefer to have someone who's done it before and knows what they're doing do it. I want to be done with the problem, haha. Honestly,...
