Subject: Re: No Spark
If you had spark before all of this work it is either something you
did or you installed a defective part. The first thing to do is a
visual inspection making sure that you didn't inadvertantly knock
loose a plug or wire. Next remove the coil to distributer wire at the
distributer and while someone cranks over the engine see if you can
get spark. This will tell you if the problem is in the primary or
secondary part of the ignition system. Be careful as there is a lot of
voltage here and you can get hurt if not done safely. Let's assume no
spark. Check again the wires on the ballast resistors, and coil. If
you don't see anything wrong use a test light or meter and see if you
are getting any voltage on the coil. Now let's assume no voltage at
the coil. Check fuse # 1. Refering to M:18:04 check for voltage at UY
and W at the ballast resitors. If you get voltage and the fuse is good
then you are left with a bad ECU, or pickup coil in the dist. The most
common failure point is either a loose plug to the pickup coil or a
bad coil. It is highly unlikely a part failed during a tune-up. The
most likely problem is you knocked a wire off somewhere or the plug to
the pickup coil.

Paul,
If you'd like to see that same vacuum tube from the other side of
the
pontoon, simply pull up the carpet on the parcel shelf and remove the
cover
behind the drivers seat ( the one over the ignition module). There you
should
see that same vacuum line coming into the car from the rear, just under
the
hood latch pull. It goes from there into the center console and finally
ends
in the A/C control switch. From the fire wall back, it goes out into the
pontoon, out into the engine compartment, to the hot water valve which is
just in front of the engine.

Mike,
Maybe the plug going to the distributor has gotten disconnected while
you
were working back there? That would kill the spark. Just a thought.
Later,

Subject: Seal Problems
I leave my car outside all he time, and since I have been at college for a
while, I forget how dirty I left the car, but sometime I would leave the
car
and swaer that the interior was clean and come back in a week, and find
leaves inside the passenger foot well. On my way home from school I
turned
on the fans only to get blasted in the face by leaves and pieces of grass,
which I am sure are still clogging up m climate control system.. My
passenger complains of a draft in the foot well, and when driving, I can
feel it, but I see no visible gaping holes! It seems that if leaves are
getting in (let alone water) than I probably have something that needs to
be
sealed. Any ideas?
Thanks

Subject: RE: No Spark
Is there power at the coil when cranking? Is there power at the ballast
resistor? Does the tach needle move when ignition is on or cranking? Is
the primary wire from coil to distributor good? Is the ECU connected up
properly? Is the trigger wire from coil to ECU disconnected. Is the rotor
installed correctly? (It's possible to miss the slot and still get the cap
on). Were you working in the ECU compartment behind the drivers seat? Have
you checked the ECU grounds? Does ECU have power? Get your wiring diagram
out. Have you checked the inductor coil. Earlier posts to the list contain
details on the inductor coil located in the distributor itself.

Try your local flea markets and auto swap meets. Years ago, me and my
friends built "race" engines using used parts that we had scrounged up at
swap meets. Low buck and fast cars.

Subject: [DML] Re: Supercharger retrofit
sitting at your local junkyard. So far I've been to
quite a few of the local yards here, and have never seen a
blower, or any simular set up lying around. In fact last summer
when I was buying suspension parts to repair a friends car, the
guy next to me while I was paying was asking about
superchargers for a Camaro. The guy behind the counter told
him that they never buy cars with afttermarket mods. If it's not
factory original, they don't buy it because of the limited market,
and possible damage of other parts from misuse and poor
installation.

Don at DMC Garden Grove sells a adjustable rear link. I think the DMC
MidWest club may also sell one.
They will allow you to adjust the rear camber on the car. I have a set
of Don's on my car, and they work great!

One member on the list suggested that I have a full rear alignment
done. This cannot be done as upper control arm has no adjustment?
Should
it have an eccentric bolt, then adjustment could be made. Would be
grateful if anyone has the answer on how the camber can be adjusted.
