Alright guys I am pulling out my hair! Need some help!.... So since I have had the runner on the road and put maybe 30 miles on it I have fouled out 3 sets of plugs!... It has electronic ignition and I have changed every part except the Dist. I have changed the Plugs, Wires, Cap, Rotor, Voltage reg., Coil, Ballast resistor, Checked the grounds and cleaned them to bare metal, battery and rebuilt the carb (Carter AFB). The color of the spark is orange from the coil if that makes a difference. Set the timing 3 different times! When we were setting the timing though sometimes we would get a light and sometimes not? Checked the timing light and then checked it again and still the same thing. The light came on when the idle was brought up. The car used to have an alarm on it that was tied in everywhere so I removed it thinking that was part of it but it still does the same thing. The question is could it be the magnetic pickup in the dist.? Could it be somewhere else in the carb? The car would run great with new plugs in it but the second you would crack open the 4 barrels it would pop rapidly through the carb. ONLY when the 4 barrels are open. Just driving it was fine. I am at a loss here. Could it be the dist.? What am I missing here? HELP!!!!!:grumpy:
