I'm suffering from poor low end perfomance. Anything from idle to about 2500-2800 rpm feels gutless and bogged down. So this makes driving around town and driving off from a complete stop rather difficult. But at around 3k to 5k it pulls strong.

Is this a dizzy/timing problem? Not sure what dizzy it is.... recent tune up on ignition (points, cap) though.


I have a spare Pertronix laying around from my old engine. Think it'll help? I know all about them blowing up with ignition left on. Just wondering if it's worth the try. This is a carbed 1.7.


Thanks

carbs? - what jets? what motor size? what venturis? etc?

tell us about your motor?
what lifters? what size? what cam?

the more you tell us - the easier it is to help.
