More testing/parts swapping, still no dice.
Removed the "Team Rush" parts, i.e. Ford distributor cap, cap adapter, rotor, MSD coil, and Ford plug wires:
Reinstalled the old parts off my green Scrambler, i.e. stock 258 cap, rotor, coil, plug wires:
No change, which I figured, still have the issue. No performance change, either, Not saying the "Team Rush" upgrade is bad, but no benefit IMO.
Bought a new ICM, just for the hell of it, swapped it in, no change:
The box says "Made in China", the ICM says "Made in Mexico" LOL. Regardless, no change.
It does come with a 5 year warranty:
Another note in the box:
So, several ICM's, complete ignition swaps, coil swaps, still have the issue. Resistance checks out on the coils, hot or cold, on all three I have swapped in. I will check the resistance of the "pick up coil" next, even though I have rarely if ever had problems out of these. I presume that they are an "all or nothing" failure, but you never know?
After the pick up coil check, I am running out of things to check, except internal carburetor stuff:
Besides the very slight "stumble/surge" at cruising speed, the only other clue: When I hit 3,000 RPM while driving down the road, 2nd or 3rd gear, it gets "soft". The engine will rev past 3,000, but at 3,000 it kind of stops pulling for a few seconds, then slowly climbs to 4,000 RPM. Not an abrupt "stop", but it gets real lazy. Not driving, the vehicle will easily rev past 4,000 RPM, so I do not think it is a plugged exhaust issue. And, the "soft spot at 3,000 RPM" changes. Sometimes it is worse then others, sometimes it doesn't show up at all.
Switch gears real quick, I got my repaired passenger front seat belt back. I shipped it last Monday, they received it Wednesday, they shipped it out Saturday, I got it yesterday. So, quick service!!
Packed well:
Reinstalled it, works like it should.
The only "clues" it was repaired:
missing two rivets
they reassembled it with a screw
glued the one cover back on
That's it for now!!
