Came to the dyno this weekend and left with my tail between my legs. True enough that I failed to tune up or do anything above putting the car back together after almost a year of being apart, I had never run on a dyno and since the car was only driven locally in the last 7 years she really had no test to work off of rather than a left ear timing set on old plugs and wires. Still on the dyno she would not exceed 4100 rpms and spark and mixture fell apart. Inside story, 5 different types of plugs in the block, old plug wires from many years back, and a distributer that I put together from 4 others I had in a box. I Guess it is amazing it even made it to HEB from Decatur. But I really am not afraid to drive it at all. Go Figure. Anyway I am getting conflicting answers on the resistance that the plug wires should have on the ohms readout. All of the wires read between 6.78 and 8.2 which some of the chiltons I have read say is acceptable, however the new ACCEL wires I bought along with plugs cap and rotor yesterday are .1 or less on resistance. Less is more right?

Less resistance means more spark and that is a good thing.

Got everything put together last night and easily can push 6k on rpm's. Sounds much stronger will road test this evening if weather holds out. Thanks

just because you have an old car doesn't mean you should fill it with old parts.

Do you by chance have a video of your car on the dyno?
