Re: Terriable backfiring

Don’t discount a failed manifold gasket.

Re: Terriable backfiring

That's right. If you have a make-break condition in the circuit from the coil to the point arm, it will backfire.

Re: Terriable backfiring

Hook both us. They can't both be bad. It won't hurt anything. Just use some jumpers to ground the loose one and to connect it to the passenger side of the coil.

Re: Terriable backfiring

Make sure the spring is not broken on the point arm. We had one where it would idle, but at speed, the broken spring would let the arm float. Just feel it to make sure there is guts to spring.

Re: Terriable backfiring

Try a condenser that you know is good, not a new one. A bad new one can really fool you.
