Well its really confusing, like we have sparks. But it just for some reason doesn't bark. It did before

Since for some reason it was decided to cut the wires? Where might I find more? Wasn't my choice to cut them, I exactly said " don't mess with it for now, it runs".

In that bottom left there you can see one wire just sitting on the engine there

I did try to mention it and mess with it and try to make the connection stronger, but I was told to stop messing with it. And that wasn't the problem. Im really curious to see if that would work. Cause I didn't do it, but for some reason we cut some to rewire it with those connectors.(To make it...

Additionally we also changed the coil. No dice

It seemed to turn off when there was a major movement in the car. Once it turned off over a speed bump. Another was when I shut the door closed

Thank you! I love the heater valve, it's quite genius. But we were having a problem before the distributer change. So we bought a new distributor trying to troubleshoot. Thinking that was the problem.

Tried to start, didn't work. The battery has been dead for a while and we've had to change it every time we had to start it. We've changed the distributer and the spinning thing inside. We changed the plug and wires. Can charging the battery too much fry the system? We've only had problems...

Thank you! When I did check to see if it actually was pumping gas through, it seemed to do ok. No real fuel problems (yet). I haven't tried using the heater, I'm not sure if it leaks or anything of that. It's not very cold here, so I didn't bother. Same with the air-conditioning. I did...

For the fuel filter, I Learned it the hard way. Not more so in that way but, it just broke. Started pouring a bunch of crap out. I had to do a complete rebuild of the carb. (With some help). I had to order a different, one out of metal.

Thank you, Yeah, there is a lot of unconventional pieces that were added. An example of some pieces

I always disconnect the battery after running it. I did try to charge the battery but it gave very little charge. (Battery is from 23). I definitely scraped all the crap off from the old battery that was there. I did change the oil and oil filter.

My apologies for the screenshot. The file size was too big.

Wow, I didn’t even think about that! I haven’t changed the spark plugs yet, so based on what the previous owner told me, they could be around 10-15 years old. It was sitting since 2011. That’s definitely something I need to take care of. As for the ignition timing, I had planned to address it...
