Re: 30 coupe over heating issue

I think it did before I replaced the pump. I just started driving it a lot so i'm noticing it more.

30 coupe over heating issue

Got a new water pump and aluminum fan, filled with water but as soon as I start putting miles on the car, it starts gurgling and boiling over.

Re: Engine losses power as I pull out of driveway

I had the luxury of driving my daughter to first grade today in my Model A without it breaking down.

Life is good!!

Re: Engine losses power as I pull out of driveway

I feel like it may be a better idea buying entire plate, what are your thoughts?

I guess I'm just a bit worried about soldering and re-soldering so much on that terminal on the plate.

Re: Engine losses power as I pull out of driveway

I melted the old solder off the terminals and re-soldered a new wire back on and it runs AMAZING!!!!

It was and still is a 20 strand but I will FOR SURE be changing to the appropriate 100 strand...

Re: Engine losses power as I pull out of driveway

I was taught to not heat up the wire, instead heat up the terminal and just barely touch the solder and give it just a little dab.

I really hate this whole wire design.

Re: Engine losses power as I pull out of driveway

What about just hitting my local radio shack and make my own wire? I would think that they would sell the ends.

Re: Engine loses power as I pull out of driveway

oooooooooook…..I'm not sure what exactly happened but here goes.

While connecting the coil I decided to open up top plate and saw that the wire snapped off and was resting on the spring. I feel...

Re: Engine losses power as I pull out of driveway

It calibrates at 0.

So I'm guessing the coil is shot?

Re: Engine losses power as I pull out of driveway

I just tested again and it still says 0 from retard to advance with red wire disconnected. Coil ONLY gets hot with red connected.

Does this ohm reading sound right or is my ohm meter not working...

Re: Engine losses power as I pull out of driveway

Am I supposed to be doing ohm test at TDC? Should I test when points are on a lobe or does it matter?

Re: Engine losses power as I pull out of driveway

I happen to have an extra 6 volt coil and I installed and ran same tests and got same results, but the coil did NOT heat up this time.

Re: Engine losses power as I pull out of driveway

OK!

I did an ohm test on red wire on coil to points strap. At retard is was 0 and as I slowly moved to full advance it stopped somewhere in the 232-290 range.

HOWEVER, I noticed the coil was...

Re: Engine losses power as I pull out of driveway

For the most part, It dies only as I give it more gas/load.

Re: Engine losses power as I pull out of driveway

I took spark plug wire off the cap, started the car and watched the spark jump to the terminal. While it started to die out I noticed that the spark disappeared...
