Twister 85 B2 Build

[Twister]

Got a day to mess with it, put new coil and plugs in, and no start. What a surprise . Found this ground strap that went between the frame and the body just hanging off the body, no idea weather it would cause a no start issue. Going to fix it and and give it another try.

Messed with it today, tested it for spark and got nothing. But I did get a pleasant surprise. My ignition coil caught on fire after smoking for 30 seconds. Think the damn thing is on strike or something.

That's weird and probably your problem. Some reason, you are shorting out coils.

Yeah, I've talked to tons of people and no one has ever had or hears of a coil shooting flames. I have a barrel type coil laying around from my buddies mustang. I am going to throw that on there for the time being. Do I need to wire it any differently or just hook up the negative and positive from the coil harness?

I would look it up, but I pretty sure you will need to hook a ballast resistor in line since they only need 8-9v to operate.

Made a small amount of progress. Worked on it today, reset it to TDC and redid the plug wires, it now back fires.

I'll have to watch it on the morning, YouTube isn't working, keep losing connection to the server.

But from what you named your video, it's running. (Okay where's my $5)

Heard it running sounds great.

Now get a timing light hooked up and get it into better timing.

My truck is eating coils and i dont know why. So i swapped one from my brothers econoline that has been sitting for year and it started. But it shakes horribly, it was shaking the whole truck, and was starting to shoot some flames from the carb.
