76 2.0 d-jet. stock displacement, hydraulics, with smog removed and backdated exhaust to 74 2.0 SSI's with Triad.
Runs great. Pulls hard to redline in 4th with no missing. Idles 850-950 when warm. Starts up when cold just great and idles 700-800.
After running 10-15 minutes to town and going in the store for 10-15 minutes, come back out and turns over but doesn't want to fire. Pedal to the floor and turn over for 30-40 seconds and it gets faster and faster and finally fires up. Then runs great. If it sets for an hour or more , no problem in firing right up.
Searched here and the only thing I can see that may be causing this is the distributor plate spring(s)? The wiring is all fairly new, so I don't think that would be the problem. Checked all of the connections and they are clean and tight. If the dist plate is sticking in the full advance would that give me these symptoms and how would I fix that? Grease? Special type?
Thanks for any help,
Tom
