I like watching this when things don’t work. It’s helpful to see other people problem solving. It’s also nice to know it’s not the gram and everything is perfect. Real people doing real things in a real back shed. Keep it up. Loving the content.
Sounds like the wire going from the negative side of the coil is finding a ground instead of being used as a signal, if you ground the negative side of the coil you will lose spark.
I think that you might have a short circuit to ground in the wiring between the ignition module & the Holley Sniper EFI system somewhere,it could be simpler than you think !
The hq runs a 9v coil as standard equipment and the standard ignition wire has an inbuilt resistor so there is a good chance the original wire won't cut it. On my hj I found the easiest way to fix the problem without hacking up the wiring harness was screw a relay to the firewall use the ignition wire to operate the relay coil and run a wire with a 2mm copper core from the fuse box the relay then another from the relay to the distributor or a 12v coil depending whether your coil is separate to the dizzy. With the patrol/ maverick have a think about putting in a switch that can manually turn on the the thermo fans. I've had a thermatic switch die on the side of the road and was not happy.
I am not a 4WD person, so my comment might make no sense to guys who know about 4WD,s. But that is a HUGE radiator, can fit 2, 14 inch cooling fans WOW.
Spark issue. Guys try running your coil power straight from the battery. The factory coil wiring uses a resistance wire as feed. You may have overheated power feed or even ignition switch. I had similar issues. Good luck
Hey mate, thanks for the tip, i had replaced the 9V resistance wire when we did the electronic dizzy conversion, but I still had a crack at powering it straight from the battery and still had no luck.
Remove your bonnet protector which clearly kicks up the air towards the windscreen. The streamlined airflow over the bonnet into the scoop will work a treat without your bonnet protector
Running a LS1 Alternator on my HQ running Fitech solved a heap of issues, they need a very stable voltage and the addition of the EFI + pump draws a heap of voltage
If it did have a points distributor it would of had a ballast resistor that needs to be bypassed when changing to electronic distributor , a ballast resistor drops the volts to around 7 volts so the points don’t burn out but electronic distributor and the Holley ecu need constant 12 volts
Guys check out frogzskin mesh it lets air in and out but doesn't let water dust mud etc.. in through the mesh, people use it alot in marine applications and snowmobiles to pull cool air from outside the hull or engine compartment but not let water in. An oil cooler will help aswell with engine temp, alot of drift cars use them.
Ebay ones are shit I been through 3 of them. I bought a Desert cooler radiator 3 years ago best thing I've ever done. Td42 turbo always got hot now I've tried everything to make it get hot 5th gear pulls up a long hill and it still won't go over 95*.
Iam going to give them a try as well having problems with Aussies Desert coolers had pin holes evry where not happy so iam going to try race radiators a go for my td42 turbo gq
@@td42dirtygq yeah i was less than impressed with aussie desert cooler. Complete junk. Same issue as you described. Pin holes everywhere in the custom rad they made for me. Since fitting the race radiators rad 0 issues. 0 overheating. Runs minticle!
@@HackshopGarage hi, ok cool thanks, I have recently just fitted a 302 Cleveland into my 93 GQ wagon, temp does get up a bit, wondering if a scoop would help.
I’ve messaged the seller to see if he is interested in re listing the scoop given a few people are asking for it. But by the looks of it a scoop definitely helps
Looking at when the xacoupeguy changed the distro on his wb he removed the factory wire that went back to the key for that reason, maybe part but not all of the solution. Also with wrapping I reckon a wrap with a pattern or design works better than trying to match colours. But not sure about an aussie flag on the scoop
Yeah We removed that wire when we did the electronic dizzy conversation, it looks like the sniper is grounding the coil, which is odd. Haha an assume flagged scoop would be a feature that’s for sure
Lol he complains that the maverick is slow asf. Then he's like "hold my beer" and throws a forward facing scoop on it that will just add drag and make it slower 😂
