Thanks John....I can't help but thinking my problem is in the wiring to the starter. When the 73 is hot, the car turns over fine but when you LET OFF on the key, it wants to catch and start. The starter, coil, plugs, wires are new. I even got rid of the points and condenser and put in an after...

Thanks John....so there SHOULD be a wire hooked up to the R terminal Hmmm. Would that be why the thing is hard to start when its hot? (I wait 20 minutes and it then wants to start) It starts great when its cold. Question...could I hook up a small ga. wire from the positive post of the coil...

Could someone please help me with my starting problem when my 73 gets hot! I have the thick battery cable and 1 other wire from the harness going to the big post on the solenoid. On the top smaller post of the solenoid I have 1 other wire from the harness going to it. I have nothing hooked up to...

Thanks again Jack! I will go out and get a voltmeter and check it. I'm working afternoons so I don't have a lot of time today but I was just out in the garage and checking to see if all the connections were good (plug wires coil wires etc.) I was playing around with the carb (mixtures) and found...

Thank you Jack (nice looking car by the way) The problem that I am having with the HEI is the same as with the points. It starts fine cold and seems to run fine but when its hot, it still cranks over nice but just when you let off the key it wants to catch and start. Jack, how would I have to...

Dear Mikey, does the 12 volt wire you speak of go to the positive side of the coil??? And could it be a bad coil? I have changed everything else. Thank you for your help. Barry

Dear Motorman, I'm sorry but where would I find the ignition switch on my 73 and Thanks for the advice........Barry yrrabmc@hotmail.com

When the car has been driven for a bit and it reaches its normal temp, it is hard to start. The engine turns over just fine but it seems that when you let off the key...it starts then???? not when you have the key in the start position. I have been told that it was a bad condensor at the points...

Could someone please help me on a easy way to find and troubleshoot a vaccum leak. The engine won't idle below 1000rpms and the engine seems to lope on that idle speed. Thank you.

I'm with you, I'm trying to get at the 2 studs also. I saw the posts pics on the other reply...perhaps the original guy who took the console out did not replace the nuts on the studs!!!! So the second guy had an easier time sliding the console out. I bought another console and a new heater...

Need some advice on how to get the center console out. Is it fastened down at the front and do you have to disconnect the 2 vent cables?

Thank you Bill for the time and effort, this will help me a great deal. Barry

Thank you Jon for the time and effort...This will help me a great deal. Barry

Could someone please tell me which are the best repair manuals for a 73 coupe. I just have one that shows the exploded part pictures. It dosen't tell me the proceedure or the 1,2,3 steps on how the take apart and put things back together. Thank you for your time. Barry
