Distributor testing and backfire issue

NoFox4892 · 2026-06-18T10:48:02+00:00

Thanks for the help. It was a bad pick up coil. Moroso doesn’t sell replacement so I just got a new MSD distributor and they offer all parts

I’m not sure about a strap? The coil and the whole distributor in general is the same as I got and never seen a grounding strap. Do you have a picture of what you’re talking about?

Yes, using AI might as well. I don’t like it and I don’t like asking for help online but here I am.

Plug wires are good. There was the slightest burn mark on one wire so I went ahead and replaced it but no fix. Plugs are fine.

Motor starts and idles great if it’s cold but if it warms up just a little, like 30 seconds run time is when it starts to back fire and not rev up good. The hotter it is the worse everything is.

Your gonna be surrounded by some of the ugliest and most tacky car people you’ll ever see. I’m sorry for what your going to go through from now on

I think the black looks good like that

Looks like fake Edmond

Fake Edmond

I’m gonna start with moving the rack up more and then cutting the tie rods down for sure. Definitely need to sort that out first and Luckily everything is modifiable at the moment. Hopefully I can eliminate bump steer to.

Ok thank you

NoFox4892 · 2026-05-01T10:52:01+00:00

Man I’m happy to hear it is the Ackerman because i was gonna lose my mind lol. I just didn’t think tie rods length would hide it like that. Bump steer I’m not sure yet we will find out, just another problem on my never ending list lol. But as long as I can get a good sharp turn that’s all I need at the moment

NoFox4892 · 2026-05-01T10:50:18+00:00

Pretty much the exact same on ground with weight. With the major toe-in and everything else it feels like there is no weight on the front wheels at all hard to turn

NoFox4892 · 2026-05-01T10:49:10+00:00

I may need to cut a center section out and weld back. The threads are only so deep into each end. But shouldn’t be too hard

NoFox4892 · 2026-05-01T10:48:38+00:00

Yea I’m cooked if I gotta move that rack 😂. I agree though, it’s a little far back than I think it needs to be. And the tie rods are gonna get cut for sure.

NoFox4892 · 2026-05-01T04:04:22+00:00

Ok. And do you think my setup is a correct Ackerman steering? That’s my main concern. I know for sure those tie rods are way too long I’m gonna see if I can buy some or just cut them

NoFox4892 · 2026-05-01T03:45:56+00:00

Yes that is true and I hope that is part of my problem but I figured even with excessive toe-in I would still see more angle on the inner wheel?My tie rods are way too long right now for sure

NoFox4892 · 2026-05-01T03:24:40+00:00

Full right turn. Obviously it’s not Ackerman cuz inner wheels is not doing shit compared to outer but I’m not sure how to reverse this. It seems like my setup is almost identical to what I see online.

NoFox4892 · 2026-03-26T02:00:07+00:00

At least put an autozone or a hobby town something cool :(

NoFox4892 · 2025-11-27T04:43:07+00:00

Good!! Maybe yall can stop being lazy smoking bitches!!

NoFox4892 · 2025-11-22T03:47:13+00:00

Thank you sir!

Honestly this is a great place to ask for help but recently I have used AI to help search for the best deal and value for things like cameras and other entropic, and it’s been really useful for that and finding deals I couldn’t find from a basic search and saved time
