Although an SU ticks, it may not supply pressure under load, starving the engine. It may explain the problem if the pump was not checked over.

As part of the prep I had removed the distributor and disassembled it to clean & lube the mechanical advance weights and springs.

In this case, the marks don't go anywhere.

It wouldn't accelerate in this mode, so we tried cranking the vernier all the way adv; /html/mgs/2001-09/msg00276.html (9,709 bytes)
