Ok, got a new distributor cap today to go along with the wires, plugs,
points & condenser. The gaps are ok. The car will start with the choke
pulled out. When running, I blip the throttle and it sounds like half
of the cylinders are misfireing. Tonight was a very nice night for a
ride so off I went. About 2 miles into the ride I decided to do some
hard acceleration - just for spite - and when I did there was no
misfireing! For the rest of the short trip - 5 miles or so I continued
to roughhouse with it and it ran fine.
Got home sat in the driveway blipping the throttle trying to get a
misfire and got none. Then I pulled the choke out and contrary to what
it is supposed to do - speed up - it about died,,,,misfireing.
So there you have it. What IS it? And how do I fix it?
