Here's a question for all of you:
My 1966 MGB has a fresh engine. So far, I have put about 500 miles on
it. When I rebuilt it I replaced the entire ignition system (plugs,
wires, points, cap, rotor, condensor) and I put on a Lucas Sports coil
and K&N air filters. When I take it up to 70 to 80 mph, I get a miss
once in a while. It sounds sort of like a muffled sneeze, and I can also
feel the car hold back when it happens. In every other gear at the same
rpm's and in my garage at idle everything works fine of course. Timing,
point gap and dwell are all on spec, and I get advance when I rev the
engine. Points are and look new. So in the end, the engine works great.
It's wonderful to drive away without leaving a blue cloud, and without
the clutch slipping. Except for the miss in fourth at 70 to 80 mph,
everything is perfect. Does anybody have any ideas about what could be
causing this? Could it be the fuel pump cannot keep up with demand?
