ok...on the way back from the dragstrip tonight (first time in this car....more on the night later) the car started sputtering a lot....it did it on one of my runs too, and i have been noticing it in the past few weeks, but tonight it was REALLY noticeable.
I was cruising along at 4K, and the tach started spiking downward....it would tick down to 3K, randomly, but often...then it'd be fine for a few minutes...then start again....then it started pegging zero, and my girlfriend called (she was following me) and said i was shooting fire out the tailpipes....
now, i have a truck that had a bad coil about 6 years ago, but it would just drop to zero and sometimes start back up, and sometimes not.....
the barracuda, however, has a Mallory hyfire IV box and the matching coil....i don't think it's the coil, because the tach is dropping (on the truck, the tach comes off the - coil wire, and on the cuda, it comes off a tach lead from the box)
any thoughts??
