Thanks Terry. Will check. As I said before, it is very strange that the =
car starts so readily when one plug is removed.

You've tested spark and are getting it, so doubt it's the Pertonix.  You =
smell gas so you're likely getting flooding.  One way to test is to take =
off the air cleaners, crank the engine and watch the jet needles for any =
gas pooling at the base of the needle.  If so, your needle is stuck =
open, letting gas pour in and flooding the engine.  A vacuum leak, on =
the other hand, would prevent the carbs from sucking gas into the =
engine, causing it to run too lean.  Same sympton, but you wouldn't =
smell gas.

Just my two cents, and good luck!
