I am trying to figure out what I have. PO said it was the "standard" 2.0 upgrade. But I don't know what that is. I smiled and said "oh".
So here is what I found in the glove compartment way back. So 2.0 case? what does that mean? Different cam? solid lifters? is that good? Car slowly started running bad and now I can't seem to get it started and idling. I have changed and relocated the fuel pump and installed a pressure gauge at the carbs...3psi constant. So the investigation moves to the ignition. I took off my pertronix and put the points back, set dwell, played with timing (no light)...no difference. I started reading about dizzys and got dizzy...but I think I will need a better one. So I have dual Webers...and that's all I know. What model? Vacuum...don't know. There is a sticker on them. Is that a rebuild sticker from Internic |

I haven't checked compression yet. Car was running ok with no major events causing me to think I blew the rings.
My suspicion (spelling?) is fuel starvation but I am getting 3psi at the hose tee before the carbs. Going to try to check the carbs this weekend. |
