Aw shucks, try again





Rich Kinsley '64 Dodge Polara 4dr 318poly w/goodies

Sorry I goofed up but I'm good at that I guess.

I had my dyno tune again today and it was another dismal outcome. The 
ignition system is better with my deletion of the ammeter and 
replacement of the headlight switch. The switch was toast and the engine 
would die when I turned on the dome light via the switch. Now you can 
kill it by testing the voltage on the neg side of the coil while running 
with the dyno guys scope. He said he's never run into a problem like 
this in his 20 years at this. He'll run it again for me for free after I 
sort out the wiring just so he can see what's going on and how it turned 
out. 

He ran a wire from the +battery to the ballast resistor and that helped 
greatly but we still can't get it run out all the way before the 
ignition starts cutting out. We're real good on the jets for the 
primaries but the secondaries need to be decreased a bit. 3600rpms was 
all I got on the first pull and this time it went, reluctantly, to 
4800rpm. The max hp was 105 and the max torque was 155. Yikes, that's 
pitifull!!!!

Then to top it all off I punched a hole in my radiator and have to pull 
it again. My fault.

I guess I'll be a spectator at the Geezer drags this year. Rats.
