Thanks Greg, well last winter we had some major temperature changes (freezing to very warm) that caused some moisture in my garage. The ZL-1 will turn over but it won't Fire Up---I think maybe the condensation damaged the ignition!!?? Does this make sense?? What do you think??

Mark the biggest problem with those ignitions is the ground at the radiator support and ti box. If you have any questions give me a email I have worked on a few of them.

You're in for a learning experience. Mine quit 3-4 months ago, Dave Fieldler(sp?) at TI Specialties helped me out with some parts for the repair. The funny thing is, I accidentally shorted out the replacement amplifier box he sold me, and ended up using a leftover amp from an old box of parts that I got with the car years before.

Make sure your coil is good and a TI coil, a regular coil will work but it won't run well. Also, make sure all grounding wires are good. Again, it will work, but won't run well. It could be that corrosion around grounding wires to the box have caused a poor ground.

Mark, my offer still stands, come over to Erie and take my NOS test amplifier box, try it and see. I'm going by your exit Saturday on the way to Mayfield. Want to meet me on I-90 ? cell # 814-450-0926
