Ok

I have noticed that my car has been having issues ranging from no idle to no power.

I have changed the fuel filter, cap& rotor. new hoses.
I have adjusted everything I could adjust
I even tried new parts.

My car died on Saturday on a busy highway and would not start.
It appeared to be a bad case of vapor-lock, so I let it cool down.
several hours later it still wouldn't start.

Checking spark: got shocked so must be spark.
Fuel check: yep got gas to manifolds

HMM confused.

I decide I better double check the points, sure enough they aren't moving at all.

I adjust them on the fly and BAM the car fires right up and runs great with lots of Power.

I'd chalk this up as a learning experience, except I keep making this same mistake. 2 yrs ago points cost me a 300.00 tow bill. (LONG STORY)
