63 Avanti R2 (sorry about the length, but I wanted to be complete)
I had a puuuurfect idle. Dwell set right at 40, timing at 24 degrees a 1600 RPM - but it ran ratty above idle.
Compression good, vacuum 19, everyhting as it should.
New coil, new distributer. All is well.
So, I take the carb and rebuild it. Metering rods bent beyond belief. New ones. Secondary jets frozen in place. Drilled out, easy out. Replace with .092 instead of .089
All is well. Except I had the choke lin rod on imcorrectly.
Carb on car, starting fluid. Wham. Filres right off. It never ran so sweet. up and down the rmp range.
But, because of choke linkage, car wont go lower than 2500 RPM.
Turn it off. Starts fine, still too high. A couple more trys then - no more start.
I figure it may be flooded. Let her set for 2 hours. Nope. It sounds like no spark??
Spark from the coil And to the plugs - but weak yellow. New coil!!
I check the resistance primary to coil wire and secondary to coil wire 1200 Ohms. From primary to secondary infinity. Is that right?
I measure the condenser - same as a new condenser? I check the dwell - fine?
The ballast resistor shows continuity?? New magnacore wires, new cap and rotor.
Any ideas??
