I was on a drive two days ago and after 10 min on the freeway the engine note changes and it takes more pedal to maintain speed. I found an exit and visually checked that my timing hadn't slipped ( it hadn't). My number 1 plug was oily and black, all others were fine. I have since changed plugs and the engine will not accelerate as cleanly as it had before. I have yet to check the plugs again since a test ride. Before this problem it had been running great for a long time.
The engine is a 2.0L, 9350 cam, 40IDF, 009 dizzy. |

After recovering the missing hardware and putting on new, I looked at the old nuts and saw that they were worn/damaged to have likely caused the failure. 38 year old hardware does have the propensity to not function as would be expected.
In the end, through a journey of checking and rechecking related systems, cleaning and balancing carbs and linkages, rebrazing/repairing a throttle pedal, new cable while there and cleaned and serviced ignition, re-setting all valves.... somewhere along the line it is all right and I really think this is the best she's run. Thnks for the advice guys. |
