Got it started on a whim with the new(ish) MSD setup. No fighting, backfiring, or general unwillingness on the car’s part when it came to running. Heck, it started at the touch of the starter switch!
On the worse side of things, my oil pressure and volt gauges no longer work, have to dig into that as I found out the car won’t stay running unless I hold the cold start override switch on to keep the MSD box triggered.
Then while I wanted to test it, the secondary fuel bowl needle stuck in the seat and poured fresh 90 octane everywhere 🫠
I am very, very lucky that this didn’t start a massive fire.
Guess I was a little too on point naming it Janky….
This thing runs amazing. Somehow managed to drop the distributor back in at exactly 14 degrees BTDC, set the idle screws to 3/4 of a turn out while it was warm, runs at 12.3-4 on the AFR gauge.
Now I just need to finish the rest of it
