Great, now take the towel and put it away! Sounds and looks great, congratulations. In high school I had a 56 C@$#y convertible, knew almost nothing about cars, and for 3 months I had to push start it because it wouldn't start with the starter. Finally a friend of a friend suggested I get a new coil. Bingo, it started every time! The old one was just slightly too weak to fire it up.

 

Had a coil problem this weekend with the high heat...in talking with a buddy he said that 90% of all fuel problems are electrical and 90% of all electrical problems turn out to be fuel related. I had to laugh because 9 out of 10 people who commented about this high heat engine stopping problem said it was vapor lock!
Good luck with your new $3,000 coil!

 

Ilya,
It just purrs - beautiful!

Awesome. Glad to see some resolution on this issue!

 

must make you feel good to hear it running again, time to put the rubber to the road.

 

Ilya,

I think there is something missing. I didn't see any flames jumping up out of the carbs nor did I hear any backfiring....what the heck??

Congrats!!
Bobby

 

SWEET ! I was wondering if it would EVER start again! LOL

Sounds like a jet engine, in the video!

 

Oh man! That is really SWEET!

 

Looks and sound great Ilya. Congratulations! Maybe I can get a ride in November?

 

Just let me know when you'll be here. If not the Panel, then I'll take the Airflow out, as long as it's not raining.

 

Yeah, I know! I couldn't believe it myself on how quiet and smooth the engine was. We did get a little backfiring (no actual fire) through the first carb on an accelaration, but it all needs is some fine tuning.

I just hope nothing else goes wrong after this small victory.

 

Sweeeeeeet, You defenitly deserve an end to this nightmare. Congrats.

 

YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYY been waiting for this post. Didn't have anything to add but was feelin for ya. Glad to see she's runnin

 

I remember back in the '93-'95 timeframe, I restored my '78 Bronco...I remember the moment it started...fresh engine with a performer cam.
I am sure it was the same for you! I can't wait for that day again!

 

Ilya the motor sounds and looks good. I'm happy for you that the problem is now solved.
