Ok here are the pics of the car that I am going to buy. I worked on getting it running and I believe I think I know what's wrong with it. I wasnt getting any spark to the spark plugs. So I traced it all the way back to the MSD. I believe the MSD is bad but wanted to ask you guys for sure before I go and spend 300 bucks. There is a gold box to the right of the MSD, not sure what this is. I did check the transformer and I am getting voltage from there. I checked the MSD as per their website and from what I can tell its not providing spark. But what is the gold box? Wanted to make sure it might be something simple and I am missing it before I spent the 300 bucks. |

WE HAVE SPARK!!!! I took the MSD out of the system and took the 2 wires from the gold box and connected them to the coil.
Now all i need is a new fuel pump. I tried putting 24v to it and nothing. I can spray starter fluid in the carb and it will act like it wants to fire but stops as soon as it quickly burns up. Anyone know where I can get my hands on one? I can't seem to find one not even from pelican parts. |

I can't seem to find one not even from pelican parts. Use the single in / single out that was installed on the '75 - '76 ... much cheaper than the 3 port pump. And the pressure relief port on the 3 port was useless. Just run the return line direct without the "T" from the pump. You can get one from NAPA for about $32 ... Part Number N69133 ... there was a post on it. It will have a 12 mm inlet and 7 mm outlet. Connectors are spade terminals. It is a Genuine Bosch. Don't panic when you look up the part number as it will tell you it's for a Ford ... these pumps were used on a LOT of cars. |
