It warmed up a little yesterday, so I worked on the /6 when I got home from work.
Replaced two fuel filters, and remounted the pump, that seems to have come a bit loose. I had hoped that replacing fuel filters would clear up the running issue. No luck. The car runs poorly - under load/acceleration it hiccups, spits, backfires. Once I get it to a cruising speed, it's not too horrible. The plug wires ore OEM, and only have a couple thousand miles on them. I checked the cap and rotor, and they looked okay. I'll try the new coil from Summit tonight. Any thoughts or suggestions? -Rusty |

No, I haven't done anything with the points yet. I think I even have a set in the toolbox.
Mostly because I hate the position of the distributor. Changing the points means setting dwell and timing. A huge pain in the ass, especially trying to get the hot engine to 6000 rpm (right up against redline) to lock down the timing. If there was an easier way, I'd have jumped on it already. |
