RE: ignition problem?

if it's carbureted I'd try replacind the duraspark box.....I've had those symptoms many times and that's what cured it......however if it's cfi (central fuel injection) then possibly the tfi module bolted to the side of the distributor

RE: ignition problem?

im having the same problem. i was thinking that it was the ignition also but im not sure. the problem started after i got the tweecer, i have not changed anything accept the idle.but it just dies randomly or cuts out then slams back on.

anyone with any good ideas let us know.
