79 hesitation

<< < (4/4)

Lefty:
Quick update.
Problems persisted and got worse more recently, checked and found the leads were loose in a few spark plugs, crimped the ends for a tight fit. Took the cap of the magneto, it just looks like an old set of points in there. Cleaned it all up, worked well. Runs better, surges a bit on constant revs. Breaks down when pushed hard. Swapping out the mag and leads in the new year will remove some the unknown with the issues.

Also changed from 98 to 95 and think that helped some.

Many thanks for all the advice, getting there bit by bit.

Cheers,

Lefty

Getting confused with this one so it is a 79 with what looks like a magneto with points. Get a HEI dissy keep it simple for every day driving put it in & forget about it

mate I have a few spare engines in the shed if you want a distributor to try in  your to see if it fixes the problem let me know
I should have a points dissy and a HEI
