Hello people,
I have an '89 GF that has a power problem, runs fine upto and around 4000 rpm, then tails off badly. Symtoms include bad pinking, blackish smoke and lack of power. It has original distributor with correctly functioning bobweights new points (cassette) new rotor arm, dizzy cap and leads and plugs (NGK) and a new dry type coil. Now, would the installation of a quality electronic ignition sort out this problem for me or is it something else?
Has standard exhaust, K+N type pan filter in oem filter housing, carb is a DATR with uprated jets (115/135 I think) .. I dont think its the new type coil causing the power drop as it did the same with the old oil type I had in before. The power and accelleration up to 4000 rpm is good, but overtaking can be a lottery! Would a Lumenition kit eliminate the huge power loss I'm experiencing at higher revs..? at £200 I'm willing to give it a go, but I dont want it fitted to find its something else.. Thanks in advance.
