Dizzy problem
« on: January 23, 2012, 10:55:17 AM »
Well, took the ole girl for a short run around the lake day before yesterday. Ran around a few times close to idle to let her warm up just a bit and gave it about half throttle........ then the dizzy jumped up out of the hole.

Holy Shit!

Well, when I built the engine the dizzy hold down bracket was missing and instead of going to a junk yard to pick one up I got one of those cheapo ones at auto zone (you know next to the other sport car chrome junk the kids are putting on their 4 cyl's these days). Freeking thing broke in half...... what a pain in the rectom.

Pulled all the plugs, put dizzy in hole and spun her over. Motor is fine, just that hold down bracket broke. For about 2 min there I was cussing a storm because I thought I had blown the engine somehow :o

Long story short, please be careful of those cheap hold down brackets if you happen to misplace yours!

The only things AutoZone is good for are air fresheners and chrome foot pedals   :(
