I installed a CB Performance ignition kit, on my 74 2.0L, with webers. I Have run it for 1300miles +,- and now am in my third coil… it reduces RPM slightly and then, stops working.
Any ideas why? Like the idea of not dealing with points and condensers, and when working is very nice, but.  |

My recommendation would be swap the coil only. Why add more uncertainty by swapping multiple components?

QUOTE(Superhawk996 @ Feb 23 2023, 06:21 AM)  My recommendation would be swap the coil only. Why add more uncertainty by swapping multiple components? Ditto. I'm thinking that disty already has electronic "points". And since your prob is dying coils, I'd suggest just tossing a blue coil on it and see what happens. - GA |
