- only a small portion of the stuff i researched. have to stop the vid at some point, right? major conclusions are as follows:
1) get rid of your points
2) increase the spark plug gap from stock except
3) when using cheap Chinese ignitions, run .024 gap or smaller
4) get rid of your points. yes, i said it twice. - Auta a dopravní prostředky
Electronic is the only way to go. But keep the points around in case of the ww3 emp. 😮
😆
So I've purchased a 40,000-volt Pertronix epoxy coil and an accuspark electronic ignition, and I've widened my gap so far to 36. It runs just like the empi was running before my ignition system had a short behind the dash.
And so far just shy of 200 miles with the new system. I chose the accuspark over the accu-fire because of the coil. The empi calls for 3.4ohm, I think it worked so well because my bosch black coil is 3.4, but the accuspark calls for a 3.0ohm coil.
Time will tell on this setup, hopefully, I do not need the points in the glove box.
I really appreciate the way you walk through your videos. 👍
@@OwhyeeVdub accuspark? thought that was europe brand. just looked it up. it is or at least it seems to be. pertronix ignitor style. accufire is of course empi. my accufire fried as you know. just watched a mike-fn-garage vid and i think he blew up 2 empi accufires. i've seen him fry a couple others in his some of his other vids. you went with the epoxy coil. nice it's their recommended coil for offroad. you been posting? how's the type 3 working?
@scottyc9365 Yeah accuspark is a European thing. They seem to like those and the 123 distributors.
It does look like the Pertronix ignitor, so I figured it could be worth a try.
I saw Mike blow those also with a blue coil. Maybe that's a thing or not. But the guy we got the Baja from was complaining about that empi ignition, he also had the blue coil on the car.
I'm slowly getting the engine disassembled for the square back. It looks all original so far to me. It has dished 85 Pistons. I think I came across info on those for lowering the compression, but I'm not really sure on that one.
@@OwhyeeVdub 85.5 dish? not sure that's original. afaik, those dished pistons didn't show up until '74 after type 3 production ended. i like the dished pistons. running them on my bug. i had the crowns machined down 1.5mm so only have a small bit of the dish left. mike is blast. his vids are a source of inspiration for my vids. he says A and i then have to say B. i disagree with him endlessly but i still enjoy watching his stuff.
Hi Scotty .. I really appreciate your research and attention to the details.
May I ask for a vlog on the oil breather box, like yours.
I personally believe that the crank case should be under negative pressure .. created by the carb's Vaccum.
My concern is that lots of people run a non Vaccum box.
Question:
If the only source of crank-case pressure is ring blow-by .. how much volume are we talking about ?
At both low and high rpm ?
Should the crank-case be under Vaccum or ambient pressure ?
And are total seal rings a plus or a minus in limiting crank-case pressure ?
Thanks Scotty !
it's the next one up. been working on it for a month or so. lots of stuff. should be a long vid.
