  1. Ill have to go back to the blue ngk coil to dizzy wire as the car started misfiring at 2nd gear when i replaced the dizzy cap with a new one with gold terminals. The rotor is metal and not gold so maybe that could lead to misfiring.
  2. Hope these pictures help! Maybe i have something connected wrong.
  3. Thanks. Everybody is fine. We have strict building rules totallt different from Venezuela and Colombia.
  4. Ill send some pics tomorrow. I guess the camaro mechanic when replacing the pertronix 1.5 ohms coil with the msd blaster 2 0.7 ohms coil missed something. Maybe you can guide me!
  5. It's a pity I can't install the other 6 cables going from the dizzy cap to the plugs. Bought a new dizzy cap with gold terminals from ebay and still experiencing the same intermittent flashing at the dashboard after replacing the ngk cables with Taylor 84090 wires. Any other recommendation to solve this problem. https://www.ebay.com/itm/336813079553
  6. Well honestly i thing i should get a better cap for this Taylor wires to get better contact from the cap to the spark plugs. There is some intermittent flickering on the dash board even connecting only spark plug 4 wire from dizzy to plug 4. I would like to use the complete set but with this flickering on the turn signal lights i cant move forward. Doesnt pertronix sell a dizzy cap for this cables? I wanna ditch the ngk blue cables. 20260918_180134.mp4 20260918_180407.mp4
  7. My car has this looms. Just took some pics. Will i need a different distributor cap for these taylor wires?
  8. Okay Patcon just received a used 1972 temp gauge from ebay. Hope to more precise reading once i install it. I guess all i need to do is remove the center console, remove the male socket, light bulb and unscrew the gauge. Any pics of this process? I really like the hotter spark from the taylor cable going from the coil to the distributor. Keeps rpm at idle more steady and powerfull.
  9. No ethanol in Panama. Im still trying to figure out how to secure all those taylor wires from the distributor to the spark plugs tight enough thus avoiding any turn signal in the dashboard.
  10. Maybe its normal. The only issue i do notice is that at such temp you show rpm does not remain steady and fluctuates up and down! Is this normal?
  11. Taylor ignition cable do maintain rpm steady with no oscillation whatsoever but temp gauge still climbs to 3/4 during traffic jam. I also noticed the alternator is somehow discharging the battery with this coil to distributor cable. Any thoughts? Yarb, I do notice rpm during idle remains more steady and car has more boost during accelaration on 1st gear with only this taylor wire running from coil to distribuitor. Temp still raises to 3/4. But idle is way much better. Any thoughts? 20260912_123357.mp4
  12. Can you use a 0.6 ohms msd blaster 2 coil and 1.5 ohms resistor with pertronix 1761 module safely? It seems the spark is much better with msd blaster 2 0.6 ohms coil than a petronix 1.5 ohms coil. Anyone?
  13. Well i inspected the 1761 pertronix ignitor module and still nothing burned. Hope it lasts and wont fail while im driving or idling during traffic jam.
