    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. |
