I finally got a 15 minute stretch in my shop where I had nothing to do, so I decided to check the GT4 for voltage at the coils. 12V key on and...
Sorry -- I have been so busy with my collector car business, I haven't been on FChat much, so I just saw your post. Mine is 1976 SN 12500. (No Boxer)
Once again, my other obligations have gotten in the way. A little over a year ago I started a collector vehicle dealership (boutique) focusing on...
Yup -- we did that, but it was about 16 months ago. We were spot on at the time.
Going by the marks and trying to hit it towards the center of the sweep, the tooth it naturally falls into puts it too far advanced...and going...
What's killing me is that as soon as I started thinking about getting on this again this week, I had to pick up two more cars at the Port of...
This was the first thing we checked. The way my car is, if I'm one tooth off, the correct timing can't be hit, as it is right towards the edge of...
Thanks GavC. Will do!
The rotor phasing idea is a good thought, Derek, but why the difference under load vs. revving in neutral?
One of my favorite photos is this one of my 328 GTS and my friend Bret's Mondial 8 at a local show where all of the owners ran to cover up their...
The advance seems to be working. Unfortunately, it is REALLY HARD to find someone with a dizzy machine these days, especially one that actually...
Almost two years ago I put a Pertronix Ignitor II on the 308 GT4, and I've driven it about two miles total since. I've yet to solve an issue: the...
Welcome! You're going to love driving the GT4. It's one of the great driver's cars of all time. (Which reminds me...I haven't driven mine in like...
As always, Jdubbya is right ahead of me...and as usual, I echo his sentiments. You're a treasured and valuable member of the F-car (especially...
Yup...the ballast resistors are no longer wired in. And scowman, that's not a bad idea. I'm going to do all the tests on voltage and then retest...
I had already thought about too little voltage to the system. I never thought about too much to the Pertronix system though due to an alternator...
Out of the dozens of cars I've owned in the recent past for which electronic ignition conversions were available, this is the first time I've...
It was hard to start and I was getting sporadic bangs out of the exhaust when the car was warm at idle -- like the spark might be weak and fuel...
The coils are PerTronix 45001 Flame-Thrower II 45,000 Volt 0.6 ohm Coils. My understanding is they are specifically designed for the Ignitor II...
After tons of struggles, I got the 76 GT4 started and timed with the Ignitor II. Seemed to be just fine in the garage, but under load at more than...
