Exhaust leaks underneath, New engine and trans mounts make engine sit up higher than when it was welded up yrs ago.
It fire right up and idles nice.
Engine has off idle stumble and back fire. Won't rev properly.
I thought it was coil so got a new one.
No change in spark color or rev.
Traced this down to vacuum advance diagram leaking and advance plate frozen to floor of distributor.
After much fiddling it is not going to ever work again. I need a better distributor.
Even if I replace the distributor everything else is old junk plus the crispy wiring.
I want an MSD or a Pertronix or maybe this GM style stand alone one wire distributor.
I wonder which one is best. Speed way has the GM one for $130 which is cheap, but will it get long with the air cleaner. IDK
What did you guys do?
