I have been having various electrical issues. I am completely going through my system to make sure nothing is wrong. I have found a few issues. Please give me your thoughts-
basic car electrical info-(all parts are close to new) Optima Yellow Battery Mallory Unilite dizzy MSD Blaster 2 coil Magnecor wires No alternator (until I get the bugs worked out) Dual Carbs Very little electrical items on the car. Setup for auto x. Stripped. Only basic gauges, ignition and safety lights. Issues- -The voltage at the battery was 12.8. The voltage at the +post of the coil was 9.0. I unplugged the distributor and the voltage went up to 12.4 or so. I assume this is not normal. Any ideas? -When I turn off my car, I hear a single slight arcing type noise coming from my coil. I moved my coil and retried many times to make sure it was coming from the coil. I checked many times, from many angles in the pitch black to see if I could see any arcing- none- just a noise. Sounds like it may be coming from inside the coil. Any ideas? |
