I can pull out of the whole and hear the secondaries opening up. I also have a new fuel pump. The miss will hit hard, then I can't refire it. I will be replacing the distributor pickup and coil, then I feel I'll be ok.
You might have a similar issue. |
First thing is check the timing. Base timing is great but check total advance also. Total advance is a little more important than base. Also could be carb or ignition.

Sounds like yor timing is retarded. Possibly the distributor is off a tooth. You might have to time it the old fashioned way.
Remove #1 plug Turn over to TDC, using a piece of wire if you don't have a gauge Make sure distributor is aligned with #1 plug wire (mark distributor base) Then mark your timing mark Then you will have base timing at zero Fire it up and set 10* initial advance and you should be good Hope this helps |
Carb is too rich... When motor is cold, it runs leaner.. Take off, motor gets warm, and then its rich.

Setting i to 10* base without knowing what full advance is a waste of time.
