    Front cylinders not firing when cold

    "Fixed" is subjective I've been working on the car on and off the last few days and will continue posting what works or what I find incase someone ever has a similar issue. Fixing the plug gap brought #1 and #3 to life with the ballast resistor in play and I only bypassed temporary to see if...

    Front cylinders not firing when cold

    I think I have an idea how you know, lol. Closing the gap to .035 brought 1 and 3 to life, if I bypass the resistor all 8 fire now

    Front cylinders not firing when cold

    I have a 400 based 512 stroker I just finished installing and the front cylinders (1, 2, 3 and 4) won't fire until the engine is warm. I've changed the ignition box with a spare I have aswell as the coil. Tested spark on all cylinders and I'm running out of ideas and looking for help. Currently...
