Based on your trouble shooting so far, it seems to have a weak spark. If we all agree to that, let’s check a couple of things. Use a volt meter to measure the supply voltage on the coil. Assuming fully charged batteries, it should be 28 volts. There is a screw in plug on the top of the...
Wow! This is frustrating me and it isn’t my truck! I’m concerned about fuel in the crankcase. Cranking an engine a lot without it starting can load fuel in the intake manifold. I saw this once on a friends M38. His manifold has a plug on top. We removed the plug and looked inside. The manifold...
This is a different capacitor. The capacitor that prevents arcing on the points is usually called the condenser. It is in fact an electrolytic capacitor. The "filter" capacitor I bypass is located in the bottom of the distributor under the coil cavity. It is what the 24 volt ignition wire...
I use a GMRS two way radio in my M37 for convoys. I haven't had any noise issues with this mod. You could bypass the capacitor you have and if it causes interference with your two way, then you could buy a replacement. I'm not trying to sell you on the idea, I just know it helped me a long time...
Did you remove the filter capacitor I wrote about in post #43? If my description was confusing, PM me and we can talk live on the phone. One of these days I am going to take a few pictures of this simple mod so it will be clearer. BTW, I gave up on using the Chinese coils. I built a mod that...
This sounds familiar to me. There is a filter capacitor located at the bottom of the distributor housing. It is where the 24 volt ignition wire is connected to the distributor. There is a small square plate with four screws that hold what looks like a connector. It is actually the filter...
