Re: 733 ignition system with wrong coil?

Tom,

I have the same set up on my car (although I have a stock coil). The first thing I would do is get those spark plug wires out of that loom (the metal tube) and away from everything that they can short to; then run it. When they are in that loom, those old wires will short, cross fire and generally create problems. If if runs better like that, then your new wires should fix the problem and you can put them back in the loom where they belong.

As an illustration, my car came with a really nice looking set of repro cloth wires when I bought it (they were in a box) and a set of the black rubber covered wires on the engine. The owner told me he couldn't get it to run right with the repro wires because they kept shorting inside the loom.

Hope this helps,

Scott
