Re: Misfire mystery
No vacuum operated wipers, only manual.
Sprayed brake clean at manifold to head and carb to manifold.....no leaks (new gaskets everywhere)
I have a vacuum port, but my gauge is plugged in and shows the needle dip with each misfire.....which is random. not rhythmic.
My wiring is....
Drivers side of terminal box stud...Yellow/black tracer and coil black wire to neg side of coil.
Passenger side terminal box stud.....yellow wire
Ammeter (if looking at gauge installed in cluster and screwed to dash) .....passenger side yellow/black tracer. Drivers side.....yellow
From ignition switch one side to distributor cable, the other straight to positive side of coil (red wire)
Alternator (6 volt pos ground) has yellow/black tracer to drivers side of terminal box.
Only variables I have not switched out.......coil and carburetor. Coil ohmed at 1.5 primary, 7500 secondary
Carb is Zenith 1 which I rebuilt, checked jets for proper sizing and shape. float level good as well. I did not buy the Renner's jets...
