Thanks
for all the input.
After
a few calls to Tracy and a little help from Buly I tracked down the problem(s)
and last night.
She
went BrrrraaaaPPP for the first time at 9pm. What a beautiful sound! Not just
because I wanted to hear it, but also because it truely IS a beautiful sound.
Somewhere between a deep growl and race car whine it spoke of power and
precision. I'm looking forward to hearing it again today - this time I'll turn
the fuel pump on so I get more than 6 seconds worth. :)
The
problems were -
1.
Crank Angle Sensors too far away from trigger wheel - added a thin
washer
2. CAS
wiring reversed - pulse should be positive as you approach quickly with
steel.
3.
Cranking voltage/speed too low
4. And
the winner......12v supply to lead coils suspect. It tested as 12V, but the
plugs wouldn't spark. When I cross wired to the trailing coil supply the plugs
sparked. I thought volts were volts. Apparantly not.
Many thanks to Tracy for his instant availability, patience and
encouragement.
John
