The Jalopy Journal
I don't know maybe vaccume hose failure, get out the timing light and chalk, revit up etc. Kinda sorta sounds like you're "running out of spark".
Sounds almost like your spark advance is failing, and letting the spark angle slip back to no load or worse.
It's defending it's self. Ok you replaced the "tumbler" not the electrical guts. The tumbler came out and back in funny, more is wrong, open the...
If the flasher didn't help then it's no current flow at all, therefore an open either in "big red" or "big black". It all went out at once seemingly.
If the plugs are wet and oil smells like gas, you're probably more running out of spark than running out of gas. Crank it with the plugs out blow...
I guess you'd have to ask yourself, are they suits or engineers? Do they want you for administration or more? Are you gonna be "Tucker's" right...
Try Atlantic Diesel Lodi NJ, they get all the bus'es forever.
If you have spark at a plug that's good. Rule for points, if it starts with a Ping they're too close and if it won't start at all they're too far...
I never considered running the engine extra's off teleflex cables like a tach? It would be nice pumps and distributors could just be stuffed...
Inside the socket things are touching eachother. Maybe clean w/scotchbrite and spray or compressed air inside lamp socket?
I think you have a coupla problems. Easy one first, headlight. Ring bulb for ohms, two terminals should read to one, more to each other. Check...
To answer your question, when you jumper pos to the coil, it eliminates the keywswitch, and the crank/run circuit. Try this, jumper hot, crank and...
One of the coolest things about the military then was all the cars. So many moved to one base and never left. A guy would rotate out sell for what...
Some guys used to cheat and stud one starter bolt for ease of future replacement. Mabye it looks like an electrical terminal??
Older cars love to vapor lock, you might need to wrap tinfoil around your fuel line to reflect heat away.
You planted the seed and paid it forward. Wait till kid rides bike around, friends ooh and aah that he has something they can't buy. Plus he'll...
I've never done this but.....I know outboard motors used to have a cut off switch if the motor overturned. Maybe make a friend in the outboard...
One way is to bring in something simple, in perfect shape, and ask what he/she thinks. If they say gee kid you maybe should have checked the...
Check your voltage regulator relays about the "pop" if I remember if the battery strap to engine block is crummy, the relay's like to weld in the...
You can put the battery far far away, use fine stranded wire (diesel locomotive type) and make sure you run the block ground jumper to the...
Another suggestion: read some other place on the internet on how to handle old "unstables"
If you can get the ear of the justice dept somehow these thieve's will see jail. and have their property stripped to recompense you....
Back in the middle 80's some newburgh NY cops went to jail for that one. They would spot a car, have it towed, strip it, and it would "just never...
You'll never seal the problem out. You must pressurize the living space so fresh air is always leaving the house thru the garage. No other sollution.
Total scam from birth, the old "bait and switch", one ad for luring them in, should someone answer, the deal is suddenly triple price and not...
Patience, when people see your interest they'll come to you in time ie hey kid I found an extra (name it). there is a set of plans somewere here...
I dealt with mercury on an old motor maybe 10 yrs ago, they supported and answered all questions/parts if they still do those old motors really run.
A good place to start is this, as you double wind speed you quadruple the resistance ( double the flow resistance, double the pressure).
My bread and butter. This image is a state run hospital complex utility system put in by lowest bidder. They call me when it won't come back.
In this area they'll proclaim you an "insurance criminal", worse and more expensive than drunk driving, and second offense is a Felony!!
