Does this car have a power brake booster on it? If so check the brake/clutch
fluid supply tank for low fluid level. If really low the booster needs repair
or replacement.

Here is a question for all to ponder.
Last weekend I, and a number of fellow club members, attended a North West
eet in Cle Elum Washington. We experienced some rain during the meet. One
lub member, who is driving a BJ7, gassed up at a local gas station, during
he meet. On the evening of the last day, he experienced sudden bout of
ough running and spitting back through the carbs. Prior to that, the car
ad been running very well. The car smoothed out and later that evening
uddenly ran rough again then stopped running.3 fuel pumps later we thought
he problem had been solved. Sunday, he topped up his gas tank at the same
tation and pump as before and away we went on the return journey. About an
our into the journey it was noticed that on acceleration after decelerating
nd also during shifting, a quantity of blue oil smoke out the exhaust. The
ar was spitting back through the carbs regularly and frequently. Only very
ight throttle pressure made it drive reasonable. After a couple of more
ours we topped our tanks. Running with the choke out a bit made it run
etter. Within the hour all previous signs of rough running disappeared as
id any smoke from the exhaust. By the time we were almost home the car was
unning normal again.
I believe a tankful of bad gas could have caused the rough running but the
moke from the exhaust has me, and everyone else, baffled.
Anyone have experience with this or thoughts on the subject?
