914/6 conversion gremlin Options

[rfuerst911sc]

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 ?

UPDATE- Well I tried chasing my issues but could not find anything wrong. I cleaned all the idle jets but that wasn't it. I changed the plugs that wasn't it. I checked the battery full charge as it's only 2 months old. Visually checked all wiring and did lots of pulling,tugging on wires and connections with zero results. On top of this I am swamped at work so I decided to put her on the trailer and take her to the shop that services my Porsches when I can't. First problem was diagnosed in about 20 minutes, of all things two connections on the hazard light switch the shrink sleeving had split/cracked/fallen off allowing an electrical short. Two new pieces of shrink sleeving and she was running great...........for about 30 minutes. Then a random " runs like crap " reared its ugly head. Would run good and then start running like crap. Not as bad as before as now it sounded like it was running on 5 cylinders vs. 1 before. Long story short one of my brand new spark plug wires was arcing to the head !!! I had brought to the shop 2 sets of old OEM wires off of previous SC engines. They pulled my " new " wires and installed the old and life is good again. I guess I learned my lesson of using inexpensive plug wires (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) . I picked her up today and she's running good and I'm a happy camper. I never would have thought to look at the hazard switch wiring !!! And I probably wouldn't have suspected the ignition wires as they were new. I hope this helps someone else in the future. Happy motoring. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)
