Seeking troubleshooting experience
Y’all, I am puzzled, My little hot rod has “issues” and I need someextra knowledge and suggestions.
First, the details of what I have: 1934 Ford 5-window coupe – my dad bought it in 1958 and sold it to me in 2001 for a dollar. Engine = 1936 Ford flathead .060” overbore. 3 / 4 race cam Aluminum flywheel Eddie Meyer finned heads Fenton open plenum aluminum intake for 2 carbs 2- Ford 94 2 barrel carbs w/#50 jets and idle mixture screws at .75 out. Mallory Dual point crab-style distributor- 2002 - 2010 Accel Hi-Temp Super Stock radio suppression core 8mm yellow plug wires- 2003 Stock exhaust manifolds 2003 Walker radiator with Cooling Components electric fan/shroud 12v system Current status- it idles just fine. I can drop the rpm so low that you can almost count the cylinder explosions. I took it out for its first road test since replacing all wheel cylinders and the master cylinder and converting to DOT 5 brake fluid; and replacing the gas tank. It started down the road fine- hitting on all cylinders, but then it started to miss a hit or two, then it missed a few hits, then it would run ok for a piece, then go back to multiple-misses. Made it to the non-ethanol gas station and filled her up. Left there and the same scenario happened again, when I pulled away from the station, it was hitting on all 8 and then the missing started again- extremely random- HIGHLY annoying. So, I am looking for knowledge and experience to tell me: How would YOU go about finding out why it is randomly mis-firing under load? Any and ALL suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Tom |
