Hi guys,
I have a 69 Newport convertible and I could use some help.
Problem: when the car is under full power - air, lights on, etc. the idle gets lower and rough. When I give it gas it it improves the issue.
What I have done:
Checked battery voltage and it is ok, but will go down when problem exists
Adjusted the idle
new belts
checked the alternator and it is cranking out 15 volts
Installed fast idle solenoid
cleaned battery cables and ground
connections from battery to block and body to block
Next steps:
New battery?
Alternator not big enough?
I don't know!
Any ideas?
Thsnks,
Pete
