    The main ground from the terminal-to-block did "fall out" from terminal side. I re crimped it and tightened back. I wonder if its just not tight enough to supply the correct ground to distributor? I know i'm in over my head but trying!!

    when you refer to "head" your talking the distributor condensor ground?

    oh I'll find it for sure! Its funny because anything electrical is NOT my strong suit and of course will be the first problem I face. It's like the car gods are telling me "you better get your electrical sh*t together because this car is about to unleash a world of issues"!

    its grounded back to a relay that is grounded to the firewall. Was going to move it but it WAS working. Shall I try and move it or just ground the distributor by itself?

    Gentlemen, I haven't formally introduced myself yet. I bought a 76' a couple of months ago. My very own "Barn find" per say. It wasn't for sale nor was I shopping but I couldn't help but love the car so I left a note at the house, he called me a month later and the rest is history! To my amazement I had it running smoothly within two hours of tinkering! Just needed some fresh gas and timing tweaked. (hadn't run in two years) So I've probably put 250 miles on it.. and one day while tweaking the carb, a 12v coil wire that was hanging around (a last ditch effort from previous owner) must have touched the exhaust when hot and fried the sh*t out of the coil and relay and damn near started a fire at the fuse box!! It was close i tell ya. Anyways after a week of rewiring everything that melted, I got it back running! Then the next day, I go to crank and I got no spark. hmm. power to the coil check. points are clean on distributor check. Replaced the distributor condensor check. No what in the world am I missing?? I'm ready to get my resto on but like the girl to pull in and out of the garage on its own right! thanks for any help -Scott

    ahhh!! I figured this much but that goes a little ways when working electrical! Thanks Hey there. Im just getting into the whole wiring thing. Just bought my 76' a month ago and was given this prospero's garage wiring diagram with the car. It's very helpful except one thing... The fuse box is backwards to the way the diagram shows. Any insight? Very confusing

    I'm wanting to convert my dash lights to led. Before I break it open is it just a bulb replacment or much deeper than that?

    That's my problem is there is no high idle to kick off as of yet

    Tempting. Any idea if the american bulb holder will fit the euro?

    I'm Interested in the three. What's the official price?

    I've been working through the same issues. Ive cranked in the fast idle screw and left the electric choke about a 1/8" off the wall. What did help was resetting the air fuel screw. Still not a great cold cranker but its better. And she screams all the way to the second barrel. Would like to know more on this issue as mine likes to rev UP as it gets warmer.
