I have another problem in one of my LBCs! So what else is new?
This time it is a miss, sputtering, not a dead miss, in the A40 (1275
Sprite engine)
I have ruled out carburation and it is definatly distributor related.
Petronix Ignitor with less then 1500 miles on it.
Replaced plugs, still misses.
Replaced cap and wires, still misses.
Replaced whole dizzy but swapped out petronix into different dizzy
and it still misses.
Now I'm going nuts!!! I decide to put in a points dizzy (no more
electronics) and the problem went away.
So I put points and condenser on the original dizzy where the petronix
was, original cap, rotor and wires. No more miss!
So the electronic ignition is causing the miss.
How is this possible? I thought it worked or it didn't.
The car now runs better then ever, I had to lean out the carb quite a
bit now that it has points. And I may just hit warp speed in the old
saloon now!
>From day one this car had the ignitor ignition and a ceramic ballast
resistor coil (NOS Lucas)
Anybody have any ideas?
