I've got a pretty persistent stumble or miss around 2100 RPM. She purrs like a cat above and below that, but at that RPM, I get stumbling if I rev in neutral (no load) or a miss if accelerating from a stop. I tried disconnecting the throttle switch to see if it would go away, and it actually got a little worse. I cleaned the throttle switch tracks anyway, but no dice. What say you? Trigger points, maybe? It's a 2.0 D-jet, with new plugs/wires/cap/vacuum lines and Pertronix unit.

Try a simple and cheap fix first.
The old distributor grease makes it so the advance plates get stuck. Remove the distributor, remove the points and the condensor remove the vacuum advance. Under all that, and held in with several screws from outside the body of the distributor, are two plates that slide against each other to provide advance... I have found that if you take those out, you will find some "grease" that is more like gum at this age... len them up pretty, and regrease with a good wheel bearing grease..(that is what I use..it works fine) This makes it so the plates move freely again...no sticking... It takes about 30 min to do, and cost is 0.05 cents. Rich |
