RE: IML: backfiring advice



I have a '66 Crown Coupe that had backfiring issues and would also die or not start on occasion.  We looked at all of the ignition system without finding a cause of this intermittent pain in the kiester.
 
Problem resulted from a bad $15 ballast resistor, you might want to check that too?

Hi Chris,
If you have electronic ignition you wouldn't have a condenser to look at. If it's a Chrysler electronic ignition set-up, those are about as trouble free as they come.

Hello all,
 
    I have gotten a LOT of good places to look for the problem with the backfiring.  It does run perfect at an Idle when I first start it in the morning so I would have to say its an issue warmed up and under a load. I neglected to let everyone know that I switched the car over to an electronic ignition, sorry.  I will start with the coil and condenser and move on to other things from there.  I will let you all know how it turns out.  I guess I could just have a mechanic look at it but where's the fun in that !?
