I am trying to figure out what I have. PO said it was the "standard" 2.0 upgrade. But I don't know what that is. I smiled and said "oh".
So here is what I found in the glove compartment way back. So 2.0 case? what does that mean? Different cam? solid lifters? is that good? Car slowly started running bad and now I can't seem to get it started and idling. I have changed and relocated the fuel pump and installed a pressure gauge at the carbs...3psi constant. So the investigation moves to the ignition. I took off my pertronix and put the points back, set dwell, played with timing (no light)...no difference. I started reading about dizzys and got dizzy...but I think I will need a better one. So I have dual Webers...and that's all I know. What model? Vacuum...don't know. There is a sticker on them. Is that a rebuild sticker from Internic |

Got it running...but not so great. I set the points, rewired the coil and dizzy and it started...barely.
I twisted the dizzy to get a smooth idle...I have a timing gun but damn impossible to see the marks even with a small mirror. Need more hands. Car will idle forever.... but it pops (backfires) now and then. I rev it and i see all throats squirting fuel. I can drive the car but it is rough and spastic. Won't really spin up the revs either. I tried adjusting the dizzy a few times and driving but no change. Runs sporadically and it miss fires a little. Also when I rev the engine and look at the dizzty I see sparks flying out of he screw below the condenser. It's not really tight I don;t have the correct screw. Does it really spark that much inside the dizzy? Don't see any grounding wire. I wouldn't mind getting a different dizzy if someone has a good used one...the right one I need. Maybe a sticky valve? Would a compression test see this? I don't have a tester. |
