.....the single chamber Flowmaster hanging off the end of the European Racing headers is a tad bit too loud, late night tuneups will be damn near impossible...time to mount a much quiter muffler on it

no leaks so far and besides the obnoxious exhaust, it sounds good.......no test drive tonight, I still need to hook a few things up....not sure if it'll be ready for this upcomming 9:14 breakfast, but I'll try to make it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/MDB2.gif)

yep, sounded great, got a thumbs up from a few of the niehgbors....even my wife came out to give me a hug and kiss (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)


i am having some strange "spikes" while trying to start it up again, not sure if the Accel Super Coil w/resistor is causing it or not once warmed up a bit or not.....
(running points, couldn't get my Pertronix to work)

the laptop is reading 18,000 rpm when cranking....I'm all for high rpm engines, but not this one, hahahaha

YYEEAAHHH, alright! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/clap56.gif)

I bet it is a big relief for you, Muller....now, I've got to do something about mine, eh!

Speaking of Pertronix, I gave up on the Crane set up as it was poorly made to fit in the distributor and in no mood to do some modification on that.......So I am waiting for my set of Pertronix coming soon in the mail....Let me know what you find is wrong with yours so I wouldn't repeat your mistake on mine...eh!

Uhhhh.. you running megasquirt???

You have the notorious "coil signals are extremely noisy" syndrome. In the megasquirt docs, it talks about one of the capacity values in the tach input circuit... you will want to increase that significantly (like even beyond the maximum they state is necessary.

What happened to me was that occasionally my rpm would spike up to about 10-18K and would cause the MS to dump a shitload (technical term) of fuel to cope with that RPM rate - this would cause th engine to flood a little and the revs to drop down a lot, then it would clear and return to idle. Increasing that cap almost completely killed the problem.

I had mine running with pertronix and that worked fine with no problems.

Cool, now that you have that out of the way it's time to start thinking about an engine conversion for it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)
