Re: got her all rewired, and now she runs, but backfires and dies
I found TDC today with a piston stop and it was right on..well the pointer was a degree off...but its still where it needs to be...hopefully timing light came in today and I'll do the timing check tonight...after that I don't know. Can a trigger go off at the wrong time like that?? I don't see how that would be possible when the triggering is dependant on the shaft spinning and sensors crossing....what about a power pack?? I wouldn't think a coil would do unless it is holding the charge to long and the releasing it at the wrong time...hopefully I can isolate this to a cylinder or at least a bank...then we can say coil or powerpack hopefully. I'll repost later tonight if I get it done...thanks again...I can't wait to get this thing on the back of my ranger...with 120psi compression avg on all cylinders and when everything else clicks right I think it'll push my 330V fairly well...better than the ol' 1970 1150 anyways...and look better doing I think...I've always liked the "fat" look to the old V-4's. Thanks again.
