Re: 78 Suburban surging then dies on long grade
Well... I’ll definitely get a spare module. It did seem to be temp related. Warmer than normal days and after running for a bit. Hasn’t been nearly as warm lately. Aussie mentions the module above as well. Shoulda just bought a new one to pop in when the distributor was apart. But it sounds like I’ll be opening it up again....
...because I used the light springs. I assumed RPM is RPM regardless of vehicle weight. Advance seemed steady at 32* all in at 3000 rpm. That was Saturday. I’ll check again to see if the timing moved. I wouldn’t have thought to mix springs... was just going by the timing curve on the paper and it seemed to give me full advance before 3000.
I also used the Mr. Gasket weights. The do seem like a lesser part than the stock weights... but wasn’t sure if the springs and weights in the kit were somehow calibrated to each other. I’ll likely swap them back to stock weights on your advice when I get a module.
