Re: Hard start then stall
i marked where the vac advance was and lined up dist with 0 on dampner and rotor was pointing to number one. dropped new dist in. car started up and ran a few times during the day for up to 15 mins till i shut it down. drove it up and down driveway. chirped tires. then later on this started. hooked meter up to dist (battery term) voltage is at 11.9 and is there when engines stalls. fuel pressure is about 6psi right before carb. like i said starts 5 secs dies.
