- 1987 Bright red, 1974 coupe--Basket case
Greetings all.
I have a 1974 coupe. The engine was replaced with a 1972 400Cid, and the Tranny is Auto.
I bought her as a basket case that "had run", so know she is my challenge.
So far I have replace the fuel pump and the fusilbe link. Now I have fuel and power to the starter. The distributor is HEI coil in the cap, PN 1103376.
I have a new cap and rotor, and I have some spark.
It hasnt run yet for me, just one back fire.
My question is: How do I tell if there is enough juice going to the plugs, and where does the wire called "bat" on the distributor cap come from?
I have the manuals but this combo is not listed, and I havent found the answer in the past forums, So I throw my self to your learned mind.
Thanks
Bobmo
