i replaced the points.

the car is really under power. when i am under load, going up a hill the car will not pull say at 60mph in 4th. i have to pump the accelerator so the car accelerates. wierd. i think it is a fuel issue. but i checked all of the connectors and they seem to be good.

i let the car warm up and drove it around but no luck it didnt improve. i only noticed good positive acceleration when i was pumping the gas (not full on full off, but just a little)

I have changed the fuel filter so i dont know what is going on with it.. the guy before me drove it all the time but told me the thing was running crappy.
