lol.
ok, this morning I set the dwell and timing. I drove the car. seems to do ok. If I hold the rpm's up, the car does that nice smooth running sound... then it's interrupted with the ba ba bababa baba baba.... I dunno if it's missing, sucking air, fuel issues or what... Joe... this car is SOOOOO gonna end up stuck in your driveway! lol. also, I pulled the wire from the throttle switch, was going to try that again now that it's timed... then the car wouldn't start. lol. Grrrr.... |

Oh boy, take your pick. Start with the easy(cheap) stuff Look for a shorting plug
wire. When is the last time the condenser was changed? Check valve clearance, vacuum leaks and fouled plugs. |

Check valve clearance, vacuum leaks and fouled plugs. I just replaced the plugs, wires, cap, rotor, points, condensor, coil, battery. This morning I set the timing.. which was at about 27 at IDLE.. not at the 3500rpms like in the book. I haven't checked the valves as of yet. I'm going to pull the plugs again and see how they've faired since the car has been running. vacuum hoses have all been changed. There are some that go to the air cleaner that are a little weird because of this funky cold air intake thing on the car from the PO. |
