I recently backdated the exhaust on my 75 to 2l heat exchangers & a triad muffler.
Previous to the change the starter would spin normally and the car would start normally. Now after the backdate the starter is very sluggish (with a fully charged battery) even though it is sluggish the car will fire and run when it occasionally catches. At first thought I thought maybe there could be blockage in the exhaust but after it ran I am not so sure. I thought I heard new valve train noise on the passenger side, so just in case I pulled the passenger side spark plugs and test started it with no effect, I'll try the driver side plugs tomorrow. With the backdate I blocked the EGR, and removed the EGR lead from the old muffler. Any thoughts? |

hmmm, that makes sense, I don't remember seeing a ground strap when I was working under there. I'll check it out.
I really didn't mess with anything else, aside from the EGR stuff it was a straight forward swap. |
