trekkor,
congrats on getting your project running, the sound of a 6 is sweeeeet, isn't it!! sorry you are having problems. i also have a '67 2.0 mystery motor, 901/05. i'm guessing i only have about 135 hp. i had the same thing, it would only fire on 5 at idle. i tried new plugs/wires/cap/rotor/points, my compression #s were all even, didn't do a leak down. i thought the idle circuit was plugged, i tore them down about 4 times and soaked them. i replace all the intake gaskets. even after that, the one cylinder wouldn't fire at idle. adjusting the air screws had no affect on idle. never determined exactly what was causing it, but i had my dizzy rebuilt, (i had excess play in the shaft) and went to the crane optical trigger. i also had the throttle shafts rebushed and readjusted my valves. it's been running perfect since. check your dizzy shaft for play, and lube it while you are in there. also check your throttle shafts for play. hope you get it figured out!! doug |
