In the latest StanceWorks episode, the team faces a monumental challenge with their Model A, struggling to get it to start and run smoothly. With the expertise of Andrew Molina from Animal Auto, known for his work on a K-swapped Ferrari, they dive into the nitty-gritty of the supercharged coyote swapped Ford Model A. The engine woes lead to a series of troubleshooting steps, from inspecting spark plugs to adjusting spark plug gaps and addressing low voltage issues. Andrew's wizardry in the Haltech software eventually gets the engine firing on all cylinders, marking a significant breakthrough in their journey.
However, the victory is short-lived as a misfire on one cylinder throws a spanner in the works. A bent pin in the injector connector is identified as the culprit, requiring some technical finesse to rectify. The team's meticulous approach pays off as they successfully diagnose and fix the issue, ensuring the Model A is running smoothly once again. Further enhancements include the installation of a modern fuel pressure sensor for better monitoring and addressing smoke issues caused by an improper catch can setup.
The team's attention to detail shines through as they tackle the challenges head-on, from custom welding to fabricating a new bracket to mount the catch can in a more suitable location. Despite the setbacks and frustrations along the way, the StanceWorks crew demonstrates resilience and determination in overcoming each obstacle. The episode serves as a testament to their passion for automotive craftsmanship and unwavering commitment to excellence in every aspect of their project.
