Ok I could really use some insight here. I can't get my '66 Chevelle to fire up. I had been driving it since the rebuild, but something just did not feel right when I got on it a little. It proceeded to worsen to the point that once I shut it off I could not get it to fire up again.
I've swapped carbs (a 750 Demon and the 750 Carter that was on the engine prior) and HEI units (Pertronix and the stock unit that was on before) to no avail. The HEI conversion was done prior to me getting the car, but it I had never had a problem in the two years prior. I even got to the point where I pulled the heads and the timing cover to see if there was a problem...nothing I could find. I get good compression on all cylinders. Question: If I put a timing light on any plug wire, should it not fire as the engine turns over? The only wire that will show any light it #1, all don't light the gun. Could something be wrong with BOTH distributors? Is there a way to test? And if they are both bad what would had caused that? My hope is that there is something simpler just sitting in plain sight, but I've about exhausted everything I know of. thanks Ron ----------------------------------------------------- To Unsubscribe please visit www.chevelles.net/list.html To start a new topic, send mail to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
