Wes, I did check the gas tank vent valve, and driving without the gas cap, neither of which made a difference. The part that did make a ...

The good news is, I now have a spare cool and condenser, which I'm pretty happy about. Also, the radio frequency filter will never go bad, as my mechanic and I were able to build a nice eliminator tha ...

I don't have much to update. I'm waiting for a new coil to come in and compare numbers, and of course performance, with what I currently have.

I did a little more on the spark plug check. The plugs ...

I did notice that the ohm reading seemed to be unreasonably high, compared with the 0.5 - 1.0 it is supposed to be. Does 11 - 13 ohms seem to be what a coil reads when it goes bad, or when it is being ...
