carb issues

~The Jester~ · 09-30-2006, 02:03 PM

82GT had a few go bad too. Maybe he'll help out here. Maybe time to upgrade to an MSD?

On a side note, My Duraspark has seen 9,000 RPM (crank speed, which is 4,500 ditzy) and NO problems!

Yep, I've had two go bad so far and each time came with NO warning....it just quit! The first time it happened, it just wouldn't start. Second time it happened, I was driving to my friends house and it just quit and left me set along the road until my friend came and towed me home.
Mallory has made a new module called the E module, which is supposed to be better than the original and half the price. That's what I have in now and so far...so good.

Just a reminder though, you CAN NOT jump start a car with the module hooked up with those Mallory modules.
You can also buy an inline filter that protects against current spikes, which is what actually kills the modules. You MUST also run a ballast resistor inline with the module....or it eventually kills the module.
But like I said, the "new" modules are supposed to be not as sensitive to current fluctuations but still need to be taken care of.
I don't like Mallory stuff either but I would still rather have one of their fuel pumps instead of this JUNK Holley blue pump.

Ryan, did you get that book in the mail today? If not, you'll prolly get it Monday. Let me know when it arrives though.

You're KILLIN me dude!!! You are one of the FEW peeps I've let tip-toe naked through my brain! LMAO

Something wrong with the mounting on your Blue pump. NOT supposed to be that loud.

The only "official" Mallory product I've owned is a fuel pressure regulator (came with the car) and it now lives in the weeds along side a local race track. Pretty sure it's still there, haven't looked lately. LOL

I don't know what's wrong with it but it's LOUD! I guess the good thing about that, is if I'm driving down the road and I don't hear the pump anymore then I'll IMMEDIATLY know the pump quit. There will be no guess work there as to what happened...LOL
