well, I spent yesterday on the 'teen and one of my 'do do's for the day was
to figure out why my tach is not working. I just bought the car and have had it for about 1.5 weeks. the previous owner said something about a "high output ignition" when I bought it but seeing the pertronix leads and a normal black coil I thought it was odd for him to call it high output. anyway, I had noticed an annoying high-pitched noise when turning on the car and since it is no longer fuel injected I wondered what it could be. So hunting around the engine compartment I followed some odd wires back under the battery tray where I found a big box with fins. Take a small mirror I was abe to see it was a bosch CDI unit. I disconnected it and ran the ignition normally and now my tach works and the car runs fine. So what will the CDI do for me? It is a stock 1.7 with 40 dells. Is there really a point to run it? to be honest, I think a tach would be more benificial to my engine than a bigger spark. Should I run it? is there something Im missing? |
