stalling issues

[Chryco Psycho]

the wire color or position in the plug or where it originates would help determine what wire it is .

well..... the car is completely rigged... most wires are not oem color and are in a wiring harness.. also when we were changing the timing to the new dist the timing light had an delay because spark plug 1 wasnt firing correctly.

I have to agree with your brother. If the wiring is "rigged" you are doomed to fail. These cars had problems when the wiring was untouched. Normally found to be grounding issues. A new engine harness runs under $150.00. A new dash harness can run over $400.00 depending on year and gauge type. Or get your car to a reputable automotive electrical repair shop, and pay for their time. Keep a small fire extinguisher in your car. A good idea even if your car is fine, never know. Safety first.

Do you know what color the wire is . Have you checked the ammeter connections ,they can be intermittent . The best solution is connect both wires together on one post of the ammeter so the ammeter doesn't work . The next obvious problem is the large red wire at the bulkhead , it carries a lot of current & with any corrosion will make a lot of heat & melt the plug . The other bad part is the plug at the bottom of the column , it will often corrode or become loose there .
