Didn't see any coolant boiling and there is no sweet smell in the exhaust, plus new seals were probably a little more forgiving. Finding a belt for the main pulley, water pump, and alternator was a pain. Plus the 2.5 mile walk to the auto parts store.
New problem. Lost power on the way home today, you think I would learn? Tach stopped working first and then a few seconds later lost power. Got her started again and turned off after a few seconds lost power again and couldn't restart. Check for spark and I have spark on the leading side but not trailing. Seems like it could possibly be an ignitor reading through forums. Damn this sucks.
So I swapped the igniters around and the tach if back on. I can hear the fuel pump kick on as I try to start it. Anyone have one they would like to part with?
Thank you Ray! I was able to bypass the fuel pump relay and get the car to start. Tried using a HEI ignition module with no luck either. The plus side she does run, real rich at that thanks to the trailing side not firing. I am done with the car for today, going to grab a few beers with a buddy of mine.
Ray, I greatly appreciate your help today. We put that new igniter in and the tach jumped right back up. Plugged the fuel pump relay and we were in business. Once again thank you Ray! This OGTA group is awesome. When is the next meet so I can bring out the FB?
