    thought is motor running in neutral will do so with only 2 cylinders running. that proves nothing. you could have a fuel delivery issue, you could have a spark issue, you could have a timing issue, you could have 6 pistons with low compression. please answer the questions in post #2 as a...

    What Happened here??

    the drive is toast and has been toast for a while. look at the hoaky arsed repairs done so far. someone put sheet metal over the drive, which sped up the corrosion issue, and the bearing retainer looks like someone cobbled that together with a bit of flat bar.

    Pertronix flame thrower installation.

    grey wire is your tach, purple wire is ignition. standard ABYC wire colors (posted in the electrical forum sticky) why are you degrading your ignition system by going to pertronix? the delco voyager distributor or the factory thunderbolt system is a much better ignition than the POS pertronix
