Motor Dies While Driving
Well, put new cap and rotor on and nothing. No spark at all. After some tinkering I went ahead and put a new ignition module in. Engine started right up. So my diagnosis is that the cheap rotor contact tip broke/burnt off. Then the ignition module had to work harder to help the spark jump the...- cfitz95

Motor Dies While Driving

Roller Rocker help
I was given a new set of Proform full roller rockers for my 350 (pretty sure they’re 1.5 ratios). My small block is completely stock besides the 650 Edelbrock carb and long tube headers/dual exhaust. I would like to use the roller rockers but am not sure what else I should take care of if...- cfitz95
