Ran into something yesterday that I don't quite understand. Maybe someone here can throw some ideas at me.
My car is running GREAT since the rebuild and the timing issues you all helped with. Fired her up yesterday, ran to the store. Came...
Hello all, I have made it to the point in my rebuild of installing my new petronix Positive ground ignition, at the same time I ordered the ignition I got the petronix flamethrower coil. I am questioning now whether that is the correct Ohmage coil to use with the ignition. Petronix paperwork...
