Right! I think it's the disty that took a crap we'll see.

[no13regrets]

my car is down at the moment too.. i have horible missfire that i cant even drive it hopefully hei mod and blaster coil will fix it

[dmark101]

a misfire is typically timing and/or ignition. simply throwing the HEI and an external coil alone won't fix the problem. you have to figure out what is causing the misfire.

Started with a missfire code, then it just shutoff. It would turn on then idle rough and die. Now it just cranks but doesn't fire up. I'm almost certain its the distributor. I heard autozone has distys with a lifetime warranty so I'm gonna check them out.

i would rather do the hei mod. hei is only 20 bucks and comes with lifetime warranty also. blaster 2 coil and power tower adapter is 50. so 70 total is better than 350+ for new one that's gonna fail sooner or later.

i checked my timing and its dead on and i have no codes. the only thing i can think of is disty

Never really looked into the HEI mod so don't know much about it. I look into it cause the price for a disty is ridiculous.

[no13regrets]

yeah man im in the same boat as you and im not willing to drop 400 on disty even if it comes with lifetime warranty. if i was gonna spend that much money i would do megasquirt 1 and coilpacks

exactly!

I guess for the mean time I'm just gonna have to get a few distys from the junkyard just so my car will be running.

I texted your old number I had since last years FFF. also check to see if you have any codes, codes 2 and 3 and you cant do the HEI mod. If you have no codes saved then you can do the HEI mod.

[no13regrets]

exactly missfire is ignition or timing related. distrubitor controls ignition timing.
i got hei module wired up yesterday using internal coil and my car wouldn't even start (it starts and idles if i wire disty back). today i added blaster 2 coil and she fired up first try! no more backfiring or missfiring so it was stupid disty... im glad that i didnt spend my money on used or new one.

so VENGER please listen to me and do HEI mod its really simple
