Re: Lean MisFire
Marc,
What I suggested is if you want to use Pertronix I request you purchase
it so it is in your name for warranty purposes. I reluctantly will build one of my distributors with Pert at the customers request but prefer by a WIDE margin points
and condenser.
I am Charlie ny the other Charlie I seem to recall resides in Florida. A long
time ago during the Shelly days I real quick added ny to my name to differentiate
he and me.
I reread Marc's posts and think maybe the Ford Load a Matic is back in the motor. In a private email to me Marc made mention of a CRISP stumble rather than
a gasp. Until assured otherwise and from time with Load a Matics I think the crisp
stumble could be from the hot wire beneath the breaker plate shorting out. It's not uncommon ,if the insulation is compromised, that as the breaker plate advances the
uninsulated wire can contact the body of the distributor.
Load a Matic distributor are ok with one carb and a stock cam. Adding carbs and a cam reduces engine vacuum making the all vac operated Load a Matic ineffective.
The Chevy/8BA distributor has a great mechanical advance feature and
is easily recurved. Addiitional vac adv is available as well.
Wish I lived in Roseville.
