Testing an ignition coil output on my 944 Race Car

Isuzu Amigo CV axle reinstall
Reinstall of a CV axle in a 1990 Isuzu Amigo
Last week we removed the CV axle from Tom’s Amigo. We damaged a seal in the process and had to order one. This week we put the axle back.

I have had a slight knock for years that has gotten worse. It was so bad that it was showing up on the REM knock sensor readings and retarding the timing.
