Howdy yall
I just got back around to the ole girl. I've been having issues with the car recently. Parked it up a month due to issues with it running.
At first it would randomly skip going down the road now its turned into a constant skip, and it runs horribly and then randomly idles fine. Going down the road it seems like it intermittently runs on 6 or 7 and sometimes when it's cold itll surge and run on all 8. Its definitely down on power and it runs best when your foot is on the floor between 3000-4000 rpm and taking off at full throttle. I just rebuilt the carb and set the floats and got it all adjusted. Timing is at 8 degrees. I also replaced the ballast resistor as it would only run when you hwld the starter and would randomly run normally. I also replaced the coil, distributor cap and rotor, ans plug wires and plugs. I am scratching my head now!
I have a full tank of fresh fuel. $73 worth to be exact!
Any help is appreciated! -Paul
