Some of you may remember my plea for help a month or so ago. I had tuned up
the car with new points, plugs, condenser, cap, rotor, adjusted valves, and
rebuilt the carbs and the car would begin missing badly after 4 or 5 miles.
I've been busy, but have been slowly trying to find the problem. I got some
good ideas from the list ranging from worn distributor bushings to clogged
fuel lines, bad coil, plugs, wires, ... and tried to address them all. This
weekend I was determined to fix it. I pulled the carbs (again) to make sure
everything was correct. Started working my way through the ignition (again)
changing one part at a time. The culprit? A bad set of points. The second
set since all this started. Oh well.
Went for a 40 mile spin, greasy hands and smelling of gas. DAMN it felt
good!
