first start, i cant get it to run for more than 10 seconds...just coughs and dies. I think its my points going south, they're pretty pitted which looked wild. I'm either holding out for a good set of BOSCH points and condensor, or just going with Pertronix altogether. If someone has an extra one, could I borrow it and pay you back when I get my job?
Anywho, second start, I have to rev it to around 2500-3000 for 15 seconds, and then its okay. idles at 1600 or so until warm then idles at 1000. I can hear it missing a little, but again i think its from the points. FLAPS has the shittiest points set i have EVER seen. anybody have any hints or do you concur with my diagnosis? b |

Britt,
Do you have a dwell meter? Get some emery cloth (metal sand paper) and clean your points by folding the emery cloth over so the abrasive side is facing out on both sides... Slide it in between the contact point (not in the car...you dont want the dust in the dizzy) Slide the emery cloth back and forth till the points are smooth and clean. Now, if you want them to stop pitting, set them perfectly using a dwell meter..not just a feeler guage. Get them close with a feeler guage, then get them perfect with a dwell meter. Also, oil you dizzy. In the top of the shaft just under the rotor is a place to put a few droplets of oil each time you clean and set the point. Valves need to be perfect also. They creat a vacuum leak if they are not set correctly. FI seals. make sure all your 30 year old FI seals are in good shape, they also create small vacuum leaks. Rich |
