I've got an entire set of these in my '64 Chevy II - and they all work, except for my water temp gauge. I'm having the hardest time finding a...
I'm pretty sure the guy who owned this is long since dead, so I don't think I need to worry about that. My whole issue with a bonded title in my...
See here's the thing- I asked specifically about two processes- you actually repeatedly suggested the *one* thing I said I'd rather not do. I can...
That is super helpful, thank you.
I think some of y'all are missing one key point- in the state of Texas, if a vehicle is 25 years or older and does not have a title- NO VALUE...
The vehicle isnt currently running, and I dont have the option or time to trailer it around for appraisals and whatnot, due to work (all day,...
How?
Because in Texas they don't accept NADA value under $4,000... so I paid $800 for the car. Sales tax on 4k is $330... so, plus fees, that's gonna...
Hey y'all- I recently purchased a '64 Chevy II (Here in Austin, Texas) with what I was initially told was a good title - turns out, not so much....
I mean- it was in the technical section regarding improving a 235 that's in a 1951. I wouldn't imagine posts about disc brake conversions get...
I got my post deleted asking questions in the technical section... not sure why, as I see plenty of other similar posts on here. It'd be nice if I...
In case anyone wants some of these on the cheap- this seller has a few more for sale, as well as some rochesters....
There are two pipe thread plugs on each carb- one is visible in the top pic.
Hey yall- I was about to pull the trigger on a set of carbs for my 235- but Langdon's only had one in stock. So I decided to look at the carb...
Tried 3 different coils. 1.4/3.0/.6- Some with resistors, some without. None have produced spark.
I'll check it out when I get home - I've also got an HEI on the way. If Summit gets back to me- and the Ptronix is dead- I'll be returning it (and...
Fancy IF it worked!!
This is whats in the box.
The Perty model 1168ls doesnt have air gaps or shutter wheels or magnet sleeves. One question I have, however, is with the ground wire inside the...
Tried that. Test light lights up and whatnot- no spark. Well, nothing consistent or full if at all- I say that because it definitely felt like I...
Just tried it with an even newer battery out of my 69 Impala... 11.5v cranking... nada.
Apparently. Should have just went hei distributor like I do with everything else but nooooo.
Battery grounded to block/block to frame in two separate places. Distributor case is also grounded to block. I've cleaned every piece of metal and...
As it turns over, the multi is between 9 and 11v- staying around 11v mainly.
This is exactly the issue. Pin through + insulation, connected to test light- lights up with key on and pulsed slightly while cranking... no spark.
Does anyone know how to test a pertronix? This is an 1168LS.
I'll go ahead and try this too.
Tried it with a modern ignition key switch and went through each wire again... still no spark. Ruled out wiring, coils, switches... pertronix unit...
I'm not watching this. This is exactly why we have computer models... utterly stupid.
I gotta wait until tomorrow morning to work on it- it's killing me.
