    Signs Of A Msd Ignition

    My MSD6A box had an intermittent problem. Usually the engine wouldn't start, but upon checking for voltage, I found the correct voltage at the right spots. Once it started, then the engine died after driving a few feet, then restarted again and made it home. It finally went bad when there...

    Got spark, fuel and compression, but wont start.

    Maybe you need to back up a little. What caused the ignition box to get fried? I would think after playing with the timing, it should still cough and hiccup like it would want to start if the ignition is good. Air, fuel and spark is all that's needed to start the motor. Even a...

    Got spark, fuel and compression, but wont start.

    Yup, I've had aftermarket ignition boxes cause an intermittent no start condition.

    An ad I just saw here........

    Holy cow manure! Why would you pay that much for something fake? I remember in my poor years, I stuck a bolt up through the hood and use the cotter pin hole for the clip.

    4 of my 15 minutes of fame

    Very cool! I like the idea of the fake battery. :nice:

    All I really want to do....

    No. You'll like the looks and stares from other drivers too! :nice:

    My eyes, my eyes! Too much bling. :rlaugh:

    Easiest (while still being worthwhile) wax

    I buy liquid spray on carnuba wax from an auto detailer distributor. It's pretty thin stuff and I spray it from a squirt bottle. It's very easy to apply but the down side is that it doesn't last very long in the elements but at $18 for a gallon, I think it's worth it.

    Car Covers - What's best?

    If it parks outside, most covers will deteriorate in the elements. I store my 67 coupe in an outside space in a storage yard when not in use. I have a cheap generic cover, then thick pieces of foam about four inches thick and a white plastic tarp over everything. The foam gives an air space...

    Tell me why I should not!

    Unless that Cobra has a third pedal, I'd stick with the 67. JMHO. Three pedal cars rock! :nice:

    04' 4.6L into a 67 coupe...

    The modular 4.6 is a very wide motor. It will probably need mods to the fuel system like pumps, return lines, etc., not to mention the computer, blah, blah, blah...

    302 Running Rough

    Looking down into the carb, is there equal amounts of gas squirting into the intake through the primary bores of the carb when manually opening the throttle?

    Got spark, fuel and compression, but wont start.

    A couple of other things to check: Is the choke stuck in the closed position? Don't laugh, I heard that this happened to someone else. Is the air filter too dirty?

    Brake Booster problem

    I've been fighting a similar problem since February of this year in my 67 coupe. My booster was changed about four years ago when it developed an internal leak that wouldn't allow my engine to idle. In February, my car started locking up the brakes, so have been systematically changing...

    Milky oil

    Check the inside of your radiator cap. If you see that milky stuff there, I wouldn't run it without finding the cause.

    Milky oil

    ...or maybe an intake manifold gasket that slipped or maybe intake manifold needs to be retorqued? Whatever is causing it, make sure you flush out the engine before any serious drive time. Good luck.

    exhaust sound: before and after Car Chemistry inserts

    Yes, it is quieter, but I like it better when it's louder. Either way, it's always nice to see a "three pedal car". :nice:

    ordering brake lines tonight

    What do you mean by "blew"? Isn't there just one rubber line that fits to a tee and metal lines to each wheel? If the steel line blew, there might be other issues. Others will help as I'm on my way to fishing for a week. Good luck.

    I have no Idea what it could be...

    I just went through a no start condition recently. First I noticed no spark out of the coil wire while cranking the motor, so changed the coil and everything was great for a week. The no start condition happened again and after cranking for a few times it caught, but I noticed my alternator...

    Versailles rear a bolt-in for a '65?

    My work van at the Big Ma Bell has to have new front brakes about every year and a half. Yes the van is big, but we really don't put that much mileage on it either. One of my coworkers just put new rotors on his personal big Ford and the rotors were warped right out of the box! I don't...
