<VV> Pitch dark is a good thing.

My '66 Monza 110, PG, Convertible has been missing or hesitating since I bought it totally restored.  The PO had the same problem.  Carbs redone, wires, ect. ect.....Carbs have been apart several times looking for the problem.
Well, a friend thought I needed to replace sparkplug wires.  I remembered as a kid looking at leaky wires in the dark and they put on quite a light show.  I pulled the '66 into the barn and took a look.  No spark plug wires were arcing but I saw a faint glow around the pos terminal of the coil.  Turns out the slide-in ignition wire terminal was TOO LONG.  It was almost touching the coil housing and was arcing and getting brighter inder accelleration.  I trimmed the terminal off a little and took it out for a spin--problem cured.  6 years after restoration, this very nice Marina Blue Corvair runs as good as it looks.  Ernie
