MYSTORY IS THIS
REPLACED MSD BILLET DISTRIBUTER ABOUT 2000 MILES AGO - WAS FRIED BECAUSE NO GROUND STRAP FROM ENGINE TO CHASSIS, AT LEAST THAT IS WHAT i was told the problem possibly was * some of you may remember my post of my truck on back of tow truck - rotor & cap was replaced on dist. ran ok for a while . engine ran for a few minutes , cut off , started back up ,cut off again. then wouldnt crank at all . * next ,engine would just go dead going down the road, wait a while ,would crank back up etc. * took to another garage , they said the msd box was bad. replaced that. called msd- they said how did they test the box- they said you need msd test unit - not just reg. meters ? * they said replace coil- so Ireplaced coil & wires. * went to cruise in . ran ok there but guess what- took me 1 hr before it cranked. went dead after 2 miles . stumbled a few times in the 20 mile trip back home& let out a loud backfire right before Igot home. * the only thing I didnt replace was the coil wire because the one I got with new wires was too short . ANY IDEAS OF WHAT TO TRY NEXT WOULD BE APPRECIATED. |
