A "squeaking" or "chirping" noise started coming from my engine bay a couple weeks ago. Curt thought it might be the points so I swapped them out. Still chirped. Car would run great once warmed up but was tough to get started at some times. Would do a quick adjustment to the points and it would fire right up. Installed a new set and thought that would be it. Nope (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)
It was at this point I noticed when I wiggled the distributor shaft, it chirped like crazy! So today I pulled it and swapped the trigger board, the points and condensor onto another dizzy I have (205 Q vs the chirping 205 F ), installed and it would not fire. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) So I swapped everything back to the original and it fired right up. Question 1: any ideas why the 2nd dizzy would not work? Do I need to swap out the vac canister and plate as well? Or are the 205 F and the 205 Q not compatible? Question 2: is there a lubricant I can use on the squeaking one? thanks, (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) |
