can i convert it to get its signal from the leading?

Racer X

I tried jumping my tach off the leading when I first had my engine in it and it doesn't work.Something tells me it might just be a burned out ignitor.Thankfully mine are still good.

.....but when i checked the timing, i used trailing wires, and it was firing....battery is dead and its late, so i cant crank it now or jump it till tomorrow, but it was firing when the car started ******* up, so most likely it is still...but what do i know?

Racer X

Still you might want to check the ignitors.The little things on these cars will give you the most headaches. :smirk: I know from experience

By the way compression is good also, hopefully with this weather coming i wont have to work tomorrow, remember, i wash peoples dirty nasty cars for now, and god, people just do not care about their cars i swear, brand ******* new cars, dirty as **** with gum in the carpet and coffee stains on the seats, makes me sick, my car is 20 years older than their new cars, but in better condition......well at least theirs run anyways, i hope the weather is bad tomorrow so i wont have to work and can go to the junk yard, going to, umm, borrow a 12a carb tomorrow.....******* want 200$ and there is no fence

Another carb but I thought this one was rebuilt???Should be good if it was.

Hereonout

it was redbuilt by me, but a buddy is highly recommending getting another one off a working rotary, just to be safe, this was my first rebuilding. could always use spare parts too. and the guy who recommended it introduced me to the world of rotary, and has helped me all along the way. he's had prolly 6 rx7s, all of which he modified and customized blah blah blah by himself, and hes like the only friend i have that knows his ****, so im going to take his advice on this one...besides, at least ill know that THAT carb works if its coming off a working rotary.

Racer X

Cool.Sounds like mike.He has a lot of rotary cars in his yard.

LoL damn really?....must be nice having parts readily available. its probably something simple that im overlooking, but i just cant see what?
