My LS95 had the same problem, also a 707, maybe it’s differnet but with ours we found out we bent a few push rods due to some bad fuel. I’d check your fuel filter to make sure they’re not gunked up with bad gas. If it’s not fixed soon the problem will compound on itself.

That’s right, i believe a 12 to 24 volt transformer because it has dual ignition coils but I’m still certain it was added on after the fact when she had a bunch of mods made to her to lengthen her service life into the 80s. -
If I remember correctly it has something to do with the alternator and was added on after the fact. I’m not 100% sure though.

Thanks for giving guys like us a place to express our love for these magnificent mechanical beasts. I grew up around fire companies and my family always had 2 old Mack firetrucks. Gradually I learned about the rest of what Mack’s are and now I’m in love with them.

Just wanted to share some photos of the in progress restoration of my old LS. Right now she runs but very poorly but that should be fixed in a few weeks. After that it’ll take a while before any metal work or paint gets done which it will most certainly need.
