    Weak spark

    I am using the acdelco d204 professional ignition capacitor. I want sure how to match it with the coil though. The points are set to 0.014. What do you mean by solid copper core HT. Are you referring to the spark plug wires?

    Weak spark

    Hello Nordin, I changed the surface gap plugs to NGK br7hs-10. When I test the spark with the adjustable tester, the gap has to be really small for it to spark. The weird thing is sometimes I get a good strong spark. I set the timing with the multimeter and confirmed it with the spark at 32...

    Weak spark

    Hi jerryjerry05, I did try it but it would start. I tested the coil resistance and I'm getting 3.3 on the primary coil which I think is good but no reading on the secondary coil. So from what I'm reading I must have an open circuit. It's a new coil but maybe I got unlucky. Ordered a new one and...

    73 Chrysler 85hp won't start

    Key was fine, the distributor pulley was about 180 degrees off (the alignment marking was off). A previous owner must have changed the belt without ever making sure things were aligned. Went through the timing adjusting steps in the manual and the rest was good. Still didn't fire after that...

    Wiring a kill switch to 85h chrysler magnapower

    Oh maybe i misunderstood what alldodge meant. I have a key ignition with B - used I - used S - used C - used M - M - So how would i wire in the normally open lanyard kill switch to act the same way as turning the ignition off key?

    Wiring a kill switch to 85h chrysler magnapower

    Ok perfect i will try this on my ignition as I have two M terminals that are completely unused. Do I need to wire one of the mag terminals to the positive of the points? I guess not since the key switch does it without correct?

    Thanks! I will check that and if all is good I'll get a mechanic to adjust the timing. Not sure I can handle that one.
