I just spent yesterday swapping out a set of 46mm carbs for a set of more streetable 40's. One of the problems I had before the swap was a low speed miss. Once it is at 1/3 to wot it is nice and smooth and pulls really hard. One thing I do know is that the motor has what looks like all original plug wires. The metal shielded oem kind. I'm going to replace all the plug/coil wires as well as replace the points, condenser and distributor cap this week.
I guess my question is, could one or more of the above mentioned items cause this symptom? Tx again... |

son of a gun. i learned something tonight. i always thought dwell didn't matter that much as long as the coil saturation was enough. i just got done researching the history of the points ignition and you are exactly right. page is HERE at low speeds the coil actually has more time to saturate for a stronger spark. geez, now i'm on ebay for an HEI..... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif) anyone want a recurved Mallory dual point w/vac advance and hot coil for a SBC??? mine's now for sale.
