BIG RENO AL

Took it fishing

I drove it for the first time ever! I bought her in 2013 in need of everything and here we are today. Still have many things on the list but now we can go places.

In my case it wasn't the coil that burned up it was the actual Pertronix module in the distributor. 1662LS.

Two more flicks:

I use the Element as well. Love the compact size.

Took her to Local Ales and Overland @Wadesters in the middle.

Well it is finally running again. I had 2 Pertronix 1662LS units that were bad. One I no doubt burned up myself when I left the key on. Coil is still good. I put the points in again as the first time I did it would not start. I must have done...

3000+ miles later……Got it delivered and off the truck….then drove it into the driveway…same driveway my wife and I drove into with my 1974 FJ40 when we bought the house in 1978.

Mine is the Ignitor 2 1662LS. I think it a goner. Sticker on the backside is melted. Now I am burning the Engine fuse and the Sniper is inop.

I'll have to report in tomorrow. Being the idiot that I am I left the ignition on yesterday and the battery is dead. Charging it up now. Geez!

I have no doubt that right now the timing is off some because I had the distributor out and it has been reinstalled. I am also going to check the ground at the distributor. Its acting like it has no ground I think.

My system does not have a ballast resistor anymore. Yes I am incorrect about a jumper to coil negative thanks for that. Right now my coil negative has the yellow wire from the Sniper unit and the wire to the pertronix unit. I understand the...

Well I tried grounding with the jumper cables and no change. I also put in points and no change. I think I am going to try a jumper from the ignition switch to coil negative if I can figure that out.
