Here I am again. The 1961 wagon had an electronic ignition prior to the removal and rebuild of the L6 226 motor. Got the engine installed with the KW electronic ignition. KW instructions say that it needs a resistor installed or a coil with a resister. Is one required? There was not a resister in the system prior to the rebuild and the engine started and ran fine.
Problems with too much fuel pressure. Had the carburetor rebuilt and installed. Now that the fuel pressure problem has been solved the engine starts easily, idles fine but when you punch the accelerator it backfires and does not seem to have the power it had before. Timing according to the mechanic is correct. He even used a light at the 5 mark on the pulley.
In hindsight I probably could have bought a bucket of oil to put in the motor when it was smoking prior to the rebuild.
In the past I have said that this was an adventure, but it has turned into a nightmare. Probably got more in than I can stand.
