Okay... got home last night about a quarter till nine.
Immediatley went to the garage...beer in hand. Put one of the set of trigger points that Britt sent me in the new dizzy. Installed the new dizzy. Aligned the pertronix. Put in the new NGK6'ers. Started her up and timed it. Car ran much smoother. Nice power band. Put on the timing light and tweeked the timing...really not off by much. My neighbors loved it about as much as my wife did at 10:00 at night (for those of you that have timed a 1.7 you know what I am talking about). All seemed well. So I bundled up... kissed the wife and with a spare set of plugs, tools and cell phone I set out for a drive. Drove for about a half hour with no problems... really getting cold out now so I decide to head back home. Took the backroads. About ten minutes from my house car starts bucking and sputtering. Ahhh I know this feel. CRAP. Pull over at a gas station near my house for some light and pull number two plug. TOTALLY F'IN fouled. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) Pulled all the plugs. Every one is fouled out. Put in the cleaned Platinums that I brought with me and limped back home. I am totally at a loss here... I just do not know where to check now. I think I am done for the winter. I have had enough. Sorry boys I will not be seeing you at the FFC tomorrow. Have fun. I'm just pisssed off this morning beyond belief (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) |
