I already got it guys -thanks

22163 is the part # on the link provided-just so we are all on the same page. My stator is broke right at the bushing. The dizzy itself has had a hard life. Almost all the hardware was stripped out.

I couldn't adjust my gap properly is how I discovered it.

Thanks for the link Zed

I have a ZX dizzy that the reluctor is cracked. The reluctor I am referring to is the stator part of the pick up that is held down by three screws. Maybe someone has a parts dizzy?

No sync loss and yes 35 is the long tooth.

So I counted the lines on the tooth logger inbetween the missing tooth lines and I only count 34. This is a 36-1 set up so I should count 35 inbetween the lines?

Okay, saw my tooth log live with car running. So I have to use MLV to show it to you guys? So do I register to use the MLV to try it out before buying. I have no issues paying for it , but don't want to confuse myself anymore then I have already.

Okay-I was trying to save some datalog to my laptop and look at that with MLV, but it wasn't happening. I need to retry some stuff I guess. The megamanual does show a diagnostics button on the tuner studio that can look at a tooth log.

http://www.synergycomposites.net/about.html He's really young but has done this for 8 years now. The custom Porsche dash was beautiful. He seems to work with good materials. So since you work with this stuff-how about a little insight from Z guy to another. On a scale of 1-10, how hard will this dash be to make?

At the present time the FG guy is just getting back his autoclave machine from repair which I guess is essential for FG work. We talked again and he felt confident he could pull this off, but it will be very involved. The level of detail he wants to incorporate takes time. The glove box door - for example- would be done in 2 pieces as the original and the emblem would be in the mold. It's also important for this to be an EXACT replica so it doesn't turn out to be a one off deal. Another challenging prospect is to get or have a really nice dash for the mold. The dash I took him was going to need a ton of work and I have to make sure it's straight.

Can tuner studio pull up or see a tooth logger with the diagnostics tab?

Good catch- I didn't watch the complete video at first. Operating the throttle while starter valves/chokes are open is a no-no. You don't ever touch the gas because you will flood your engine. They are just there to start the motor in cold conditions. On CZCC I have a triple thread there that shows the manual that you might want to read. Hook up a choke cable to the starters so you can turn them off and on from inside the car simultaneously

Yep- that's the first thing I thought of with that high idle. Have you done a vacuum reading?

Need a little help here. So Megalog viewer is a separate program that you purchase to view something like a tooth log? I need to get a larger SD card for datalogging, but when i do capture a datalog will I be able to see this with just TS? Can you see a tooth logger real time with MLV? Or I can post up a datalog and you guys that have MLV can see my tooth log? I'm starting to realize that I really need to do more studying

Now if you are looking for the bling factor!!

I should also add I checked grounds and everything seemed tight. Continuity between coil ground wires and block. 12v's at all the coils. Tomorrow I will will hook up switch to my datalogger and hopefully get that done.

Nothing conclusive with the coolant pressure test. 4,5,6 show 180-190 psi on a compression test Next step is mounting back a dizzy and wires to eliminate electrical. Now I am kicking myself for selling my 12-80 dizzy, but I have a spare that a buddy and I share for this purpose. Should take an hour to wire it back up.

Swapping around coils did help define my issue. I am weighing too much on what I am seeing with the timing light. I can't explain why the timing light flickers differently on some coils, but it does. Regardless of what I am seeing with the light, I know for a fact that 4&5 plugs look fouled. Since it is unlikely a carb issue spanning across two different carbs I am beginning to think I have a breach in my HG. These symptoms are similiar to what happened to me in 2011 when i blew a HG then. The car ran alright, but not not 100% . My car didn't overheat or any real symptoms back in 2011, but it failed a coolant pressure test, and that's what I'll be doing when I get home. Maybe got too aggressive with my timing? I probably shouldn't speculate until I know for sure what's up.

Looks good! The taper should be a benefit. I didn't do that with my design, but I think enough volume can help make up for that.

Damn-I'm 51 now.

You need to update your signature with some description. There's hardly a way to answer your question with so little information provided. Engine specifics Carb setting specifics Ignition History Check out my thread triple Mikuni Help in the fuel delivery forum

There's always the chance it's spark related, but those settings seemed to copy over fairly well. Also if it were off, I would think the car wouldn't run and the timing is spot on every single time I check it. My timing was right on the mark too, but the longer I watched the light, the more I saw problems. Not doubting you, but make sure you don't discount anything! I feel your pain dude.

Looks like the 72 I just picked up. I was thinking more on the line of weld building the 'dip" to make it a high quench head.

Thanks Sam. After a while I started thinking to myself I should have swapped coils - duh- to see if it followed , like you said. I could of and should have been yanking on the harness while it's running to see if that gives any results - you know- the basic mechanic stuff. Sometimes we dig to deep for the shallow stuff. 4 of these coils are used. I also remember that the connectors were a bit funky in that there was an additional plastic piece that went on basically between the connector and coil. What if I didn't have that installed? Don't really know what it does. I guess I have grounds to check too! Basics , basics, basics
