VROOM... VROOOM, turn the corner, sputter, sputter, backfire, backfire, lose power, engine starts dying, floor the gas, downshift, sputter, sputter, backfire, backfire, back to normal for 2 blocks... then sputter, sputter, and turned it off when I got home.

Anyone venture a guess?

Well, so far I haven't run it down to fumes that I can remember, but with a non-operable/inaccurate gas gauge... that's a possibility... I guess I could also try points and condenser... haven't replaced those since I got the car... that was 3 months ago...

Any sources recommended for purchasing these? upgrades (other tan pertronix) recommended?
