[HOOT]

Been there done that.......... got an oil covered and somewhat confused dog to prove it.
Great to see some familiar faces and meet a few more. Zach needs some seedy purple and pink neon lights out front. Geez Louis what a stash of goodies, and what a Saaawwweeeeeet J truck sitting there now.

Bryan I'm not sure what your dog did to mine but she was in a fetal position,wimpering and wanting a cigarette all the way home. I think she learned a little lesson in size matters. Good thing yours is also a female.

Thanks Zack
Cya again soon

Dan helped me get the dead j 20 home.....Thanks again Dan! We winched it on my trailer,I towed it home & I unloaded it this morning.It looks like some kind of short in the engine harness,no power to coil,also it looks like the coil died too.If you turn the key on,leave it on for 10 seconds,the wires get hot & start to smoke! But now it started to snow hard,so I can't proceed.Anybody have a spare'87 engine harness?

Ricbee,
I had a similar problem back over the summer with my 86 - J20. It died going down the highway, burning wire has a distinct smell. The ignition wires worked themselves down onto the hot manifold, shorted out and killed the fusible link. This was all done on the passenger side. The fusible links should be right next to the solenoid.
Sorry I couldn't make it to the M & G, had previous commitment.

Got'er running.I pulled the engine harness,peeled back the covering,NO melted wires,but the coil hot was kinda stuck to the other wires but not melted.So I pinned out the important wires,and re-wrapped&installed it.I did notice on the 3-prong plug to the dizzy,the plastic plug was falling apart,and the plugs were green with corrosion,causing high resistance,then an open circuit.So I cleaned the prongs,put some white lith on them,coated it with liquid tape,then wrapped it all in black tape.

Bummer ... I totally missed the M&G. I haven't been on the board lately, due to really busy at work! See you guys next time, hopefully!

[SC/397]

Kayrapp! I missed it too!

[Greg Taylor]

Kayrapp! I missed it too!

Yep, we both missed it ... DOH!

But ... I didn't miss seeing one of your AMC engines at Autorama tonight! 390 in the S/C Rambler clone.
