‘68 Polara 383 2bbl. I started down the road to a car show about 60 miles away. I got about 10 miles away from home and I felt a little stumbling. I Stopped to check it out. It was idling smoothly, rev it up, still smooth. It seemed one of the wires on the ballast resistor was loose so I pushed it on further and got a quick stumble while I was pushing. Then ran smooth again.
I really wanted to continue on, knowing I should turn back while it was running. So I continued. At about 30 miles in, it started stumbling again. A little bit surging and sputtering. I slowed to 60 and it was still kind of hit and miss. This wen on for about 2 miles and then started running smoothly again. At about 40 miles in it did it again. This time a little backfire. I pulled into a small town and it was running fine again. I opened the hood and got it to stumble again. I was 43 miles from home I decided I should probably head home to get closer instead of further away. On the way home it happened 2 or 3 more times but made it. Now to try and diagnose an issue that is not consistent.
