FIRING PROBLEM
-
I have a 1951 Hudson 232 with overdrive. My problem is that the 2 cylinders closest to fire wall are not working. When I have it running it misses and when I took off the 2 spark plug wires there is no change but when I take off the other 4 wires there is a change. I took the head off and all the valves and pistons are seating fine. Have put a tune up kit on it. Thanks for your help. Don

Try changing the plugs. I had a 327 st 8 thunderblot Packard, one cylinder rose a little higher than the other. I had to use a shorter plug(j-11 reg , J-11Y was tad shorter)on the one cylinder. it ran fine.

George: [After being on the dog walker] Did you not hear me out there?
Elroy: Yeah, you...
George: Go to your room, Elroy.
Elroy: But...
George: GO TO YOUR ROOM. For 45 minutes I was out there screaming. I know that

Compression, fuel, fireing at the correct time for each cylinder will usually make the old Hudson run. Champion 844-1 small engine spark plugs at Walmart works good for my Hudson. I have heard of fuel being blocked from cylinders by mud dobbers if setting open for a while. Let us know what you find

Compression, firing at cylinder at correct time and fuel are the key, I like Champion small engine 844-1 spark plugs found at walmart, works best for my Hudson. I have heard of fuel being blocked in intake manifold by mud dobbers if open for a while. Let us know what you find.
