Over the weekend my 3.0 conversion started running like crap. Almost instantly it went from running good to crap. Seems like it is not running on all cylinders. On Sunday I installed new spark plugs but that made no difference and the old plugs ( less than 3 months old ) looked fine. When I restarted after the new plugs the car would not turn off when I turned the ignition off ? She finally died on her own from the poor running. So I decided to put my battery tender on as the battery seemed low ( less than 1 month old ). Today when I got home from work I noticed the alternator light on the dash was lit with the key off.....wtf ??? So the battery is new,spark plugs new along with ignition wires,coil. The ignition box is a Mallory digital being driven by a recurved Jerry Woods distributor. And the alternator was rebuilt by a local shop. Any ideas what's going on ?
