okay back to base on a fuel issue and not electrical
son was over and i suggested that we disconnet fuel line and crank over..oh oh no fuel to carb..then we disconnect the inlet side of fuel pump oh oh dry no residual fuel on he floor...he blew into the gas line goiing to tank and we reconnected all the lines he primed the carb a little and the old girl fired right up I now think the problem is Isolated obstruction in line, debris in gas tank or pickup tube he is coming over mid week and we are dropping the tank checking tthe gas line and the pickup tube and possible debri in tank

well here we go again..two weeks ago my sons and I checked the fuel system, fuel pump and carb no problem there plus fresh gas in fuel tank. well we got it running after two years being idle..all seemed well as i took it for a spin ( 4 miles)...35 miles an hour in the country. HOWEVER..Last night took it down to O Reilys( 5 miles) to get some cleaning supplies for the old girl.. all of a suden she started back firing and loss of power !!! uggh Some young guys helped me push it into O Rielys lot..tried again to start nothing. (i could smell the gas as i pushed the peddle to start ( so nothing there). My suspicions now led me to an electrical issue distributor or COIL. A young Jeep entusiast pulled into the lot. he said beautiful car man !! Wait i have a plug tester in my car..now crank it over. Nice blue spark on the tester.( so i have eliminated) a possible distributor issue ( for the time being) I now think it is a coil issue. I have had my Love for 25 years haha just a nice driver. and it has had the same coil since I bought the car 25 years ago.( the original Autolite type.) and god knows how long he prior owner had it . A check on the internet indicates that backfiring, loss of power and poor idle is an indicaion of coil failure. or the begging of coil failure.. I have ordered a new original AutoLite coil ( I like orginallity) your thoughts of these issues thank to all for your past input on other issues

thanks for your thoughts to all ..will check it out and advise

speedo doesnt work HOWEVER when i disconnet at the tranny and put a drill to it it works fine. maybe it needs a new cable. which Ihave. but to install it seems there is not enoght clearance for the knuled connector to go thrugh does the interior fire wall pad be removed for the clearaance ??

After three years 115 c in on road again.. i have a question it runs and idles fine but it seems a bit sluggish on acceleration do coils deteriorate with age Ive had this car for 30 years and who knows how long it has been in the car before i purchased it

thanks Kev no conversion to silicon thanks boys running down t auto store much appreciated and thanks for quick reply " que tengas un gran dia" ( have a great day)

simple question doing brake job on 1937 115 C cant remember the type of fluid to use or grade thanks much

all is well there was a loose wire touching the frame drawing from the battery..amp meter reading where it should be a little on positive side while idling. thanks to all
we're back in busy. did testing now there is noting drawing on the battery when off

went out this morning KEY OFF but when i reconnected the battery with key off the amp on dash goes negative hmmm

after two years i finally got my 115 running..but sadly when my son hooked up the battery he cooked it that is another story.. so i bought a new one and installed it,.,no problem it started right up. but then i turned the car off and two hours later i went to start it again and the new one was dead. hmm im gonna recharge the new one on my trickle, maybe there is a draw on the battery when the car is off I dont know or maybe it wasnt fully charged when i bought it your thoughts is there a way of testing the battery to see if there is current being drawn when the car is off thanks
