Hello all,
Hope someone has some insight to a recent issue I've had with my 67 Newport recently back on the road.
With all my enthusiasm to drive my Newport, I use any excuse to take it out for a drive.
I found the car was riding a bit rougher, each time I took her out, where yesterday while doing some work on the exhaust, fixing what I had to do then went to start her up with a no go.
She was not getting gas and after checking everything I found the vaccum hose between the carb and distibutor broken and brittle. Once replaced and the vaccum reestablished she fired right up.
My question is , have I altered timeing or anything in my efforts to get her started? I 've been driving it since August 2nd.
It drives much better now but just wondering what the experts have to say on such a situation.
Thanks
PT
