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 |

Gary, you need to ground the floating plate (that the points are mounted on) to the body of the dizzy.
Since the plate rotates slightly as it advances, a braided conductor is recommended. You can obtain a short piece of braided shield from a coaxial TV cable. Cut a 2" length of braid (approx. length). Clean and tin both ends of the braid. Install a crimp-on eye-connector on one end of the braid Solder (or tack-weld) the other end to a spot on the plate. (There should already be a glob of solder there now). Insert the other end (with the eye connector) under one of the bolts on the dizzy's body. You're done. The pic on ebay clearly shows the crimp connector end. |
