    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

I just finished jetting my carbs and it was running great until I experienced a total loss of power going 90mph. I figured out that it is a wire or wires going to the sparkplugs. I would like to upgrade my coils and wires to something that can work now and also work later on if I decide to go with a big block setup, or nitrous. Is there a kit like this available? Should I also look into replacing the ignition system?

Thanks-
 
Assuming the coils, wires & caps are all stock, a common issue is the caps sometimes lose their conductivity due to corrrosion between the cap/wire connection.

The caps simply un-screw off the wires (pull back the rubber sleeve first). Once removed, trim the wire back approx. 1/4" - 3/8" to get to fresh, clean copper & re-install the caps...

Even better, replace the caps with new aftermarket NGK ones...

Basscliffs site has some info regarding NGK types & styles.

I like the accel coil/wire setup but if you go nitrous you probably want somthing like dyna2000/4000 and that uses 2 ohm coils instead of the more standard 3-4 ohms.
