Re: B-engine poor running Posted by Gary Stottler [Email] (#1463) [Profile/Gallery] (more from Gary Stottler) on Thu, 7 Mar 2024 07:31:12 In Reply to: Re: B-engine poor running, SebCH, Thu, 7 Mar 2024 07:23:07 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
A couple of other thoughts I had:
1) I really would confirm the valve timing. I think that if the timing chain is off by one tooth you could get these symptoms and still show good compression.
2) Look at the ignition system upstream of the distributor (strong 12V power to the coil, good ground for the coil, good coil, ballast resistor, dwell). The spark could be timed correctly but weak and so not able to "fire" reliably under high load.
