A few questions. I have a 427 that is showing signs of not enough electricity - hard start, dying when increasing throttle. Some suggested a ground issue, but I had someone also tell me it could be the resistor that’s failing. So… some questions…
How can I test my existing one? What are the specs ?
If I needed to purchase such an animal, where might I find one?
My current one has a friendly “+” and “-“ on it but what about a spare I have with no markings on it?
Here’s a pic of my current one..n
Captain Chris ...... Great to read about your progress . Some info you need to consider for your carbs & engines . The ONLY CORRECT carb base gasket is from www.cometic.com # C5262FC 4 hole , square bore & .060 thick . You will need 2 per carb , 1 for spacer to manifold & 1 for carb to spacer . You MUST have the factory supplied 4 hole spacer & 4 hole gaskets for proper engine performance . All carb repair kits have the wrong style / thickness carb base gasket when shipped . The Cometic gaskets are made in the USA in Ohio . Your carb idle mixture screws need to be set at 1 1/2 turns out from fully seated for initial setting . The 427 engine has only 1 timing mark on the flywheel @ 10 degrees advance ! Do not listen to the dockside chatter for different timing settings !!
Keep us posted
