ya'll ask tough questions. I raised the hood and peered inside.... looked for the 'msd'. hmmmm I don't see anything that looks like what i THINK is an MSD box. The big wire that comes out of the distr. goes to something red, but it is a cylinder in shape, not a box. ugh. see?? ignorant!
Nobody is looking at it right now because i don't have time for anybody to look at it. I'll have to trailer it back up to Rob. No way am i driving it. The test drive yesterday went well. As in, for 20 minutes it didn't die....
Did not drive it today. Don't know about tomorrow or the next or the next or the next.....
Thank you for all these new suggestions. If they haven't been done at the shop before i will make a list of ya'll's suggestions and see if any of these work.
I'm guessing the ignition module. It was smallish, like a pack of gum (the wrigley's kind) I don't where it went or what he did with it.
I do know i got a spark to the plugs when i first had it on the side of the road. I called up to the mechanic, and the guy that was in the shop had me check for spark right off the bat. But.... if something is intermittent, maybe that would be different.
thank you for suggesting the Chilton books, Ron. As a matter of fact, a concerned soul sent me a private message with the same idea. Thanks, RP.
Will stop by the 'big' 'Half Priced Books' and grab some.
ok. that's it for now. I'll continue to update this thread as i test drive and evaluate the repair.
oh yes. if it was a MSD box wouldn't it say it?? I don't see anything that says that. And can a box be a cylinder? Is that just a term?? Box??
Late night reading... Chilton for dummies.
