studdering 340
« on: May 26, 2006 - 02:09:10 PM »
Hey guys! I took my Cuda out for a drive last night. it worked great but I noticed when I got on it at about 4k it started to miss I would let off and it was fine.. it has a 750 holley and a Mallory dual point distributor.  I haven't been able to think what it is I was thinking maybe the weights in the distributor are two light or something and maybe it's not advancing far enough??

SPARK: Make sure all of your plug wires are good. If you don't know how to properly setup the dwell on a dual point, put in a temporary genuine Mopar electronic ignition and distributor.  Should only take a few minutes if you setup an add-on electronic harness, that plugs into your 2 ballast resistor leads.
 
FUEL:  Make sure that you aren't running low on Fuel Pressure >4000 rpm.  Does it feel like it's running out of gas?
Do you have your initial timing set?

Are you sure that it isn't just pinging under load?
