'79 Ford Ignition Help

[DOC]

I would like to offer some advice of checking for a fried wire connection. However, when my Mustang was doing this very same thing I just put an MSD multispark box on it and it sent enough fire to each plug that I haven't had a problem since.

If it wasn't a 1571 mile collector car, I would rip out the whole ignition system and use an MSD; actually, I would probably rip out the engine.

It can be installed and returned to factory without changing anything. Although it might be just rich. The floats might need adjusted. A lot of problems can be caused right there. Air fuel screws out of adjustment. Valve guides can be cracked too. Without more information it's hard to tell why it's fouling plugs.

I can't see the carb changing sitting in my father's garage. Well, you never know with that FORD two barrel on there; I did flush out the gas. He started and ran it about once a month for the life of the car and one day it just ran like shit. However, with the spark being put off on all eight new plugs, it would barely run my lawn mower. It fires like the coil is going bad but its not, and the system is fully charged. alternator charging, etc. If it wasn't firing at all, it would be a lot easier to track down the problem. I was hoping somebody had the oh yeah, I had this...no such luck.
