Yeah. I was thinking maybe TA/B but the scuttle shape on those is different. I think your TC shot was taken with a fisheye lens, which makes the tire look bigger than it is.So: TC.

I’m still TCing on picture #2.Changing a tire is easy.Changing the dash, not so easy.Removing the splash panel? OK, that would be easy. But I’m pretty sure the TD gas tank is shorter than the TC tank, beucase the TD tank ends where the splash panel starts. You san see in pic #2 that the tank drops almost to the bottom tips of the fenders….which…[Read more]

From there I’ll pick up to 26 outside Charleston. Then I’ll grab 77 at Columbia to 81 in Virginia th…[Read more]

Mark Konrad replied to the topic Electric Problem Possible Coil Help needed in the forum General Discussion 13 years, 3 months ago
Thanks for the input.
The eclectronic ignition was on the car when I got it last summer so not sure what the type is. I think I will try and use a ohmmeter to test the coil first, and then try and use a different coil to see if I get some spark then go from there. I know the fuel is fine so thats not the problem. Hopefully its just the coi… -

OK, so I’m not 100 percent any more that that middle pic (up top) is a TC. Look at the size of that spare tire: much smaller than the TC Paul posted.

Test by putting the points back in (you did save them, right?) If you get good love with points (over some time, with the motor heated up nice and toasty), then your pointless conversion is NG. Some of them (cough Pertronix, cough) can sometimes be cooked by too much coil voltage. More likely it’s the coil, but before replacing that, make sure…[Read more]

Marc Lipsius replied to the topic Electric Problem Possible Coil Help needed in the forum General Discussion 13 years, 3 months ago
I had my engine rebuilt, I thoroughly cleaned the carb (multiple times just to be sure), cleaned out the whole fuel system, and my car kept suddenly dying when on the road. I even checked the resistance of both windings of the coil and they were within specs, but as a last resort, I changed the coil, and it runs perfectly now. Sometimes when the…[Read more]
