Had it idling to warm up at the beginning of this winter. It was idling fiine. Was late so I jumped in before it was really warm, (it was -27 C/ -18 F or so). Bogged down really bad, then stalled. wouldn't start up again. Let it sit for a while, tried again. Turns over no problem, but won't fire.

SOme history, it's bogged down before when it's really cold out. Took me a while sitting on the side of the road, trying to keep it alive, then when it warms up it goes fine.

I looked a just about everything under the hood. New coil, plugs, cap, rotor, wires, magnetic pickup. I thought that I might have skipped a cam gear tooth (due to the cold), but decided to wait before checking. Checked the distributor and vanes. Everything is solid. Nothing loose.

I thought it might be the SCC, so I found one in a running truck in the wreckers and swapped it. Nothing. I checked compression and it was pretty low in a few of the cylinders. (later I realized that as I flooded the engine really bad near the beginning of this little endeavour, I put so much fuel through the engine, it washed the oil out from around the pistons ie.. no seal. I realized this once I changed the oil and had an extra quart in the pan. Whoops.)

Pulled the engine apart to change the timing chain and check the cam gear. Timing was fine. Damn. Oh well, I have a new timing chain in there now.

But now I have no idea.

Right now I've pickup up an MSD 6A and a MSD timing controller (stupid dodge and aftermarket not having a vacuum advance carb for the 3.9) to bypass the whole SCC. Does any one know if the carb will still work without inputs from the computer?

Any help would be appreciated
