- Well, wise ones, I had a little bit of a scare today in my B, and I thought I'd see if anyone had any further suggestions beyond what I attempted. FYI: 66 B roadster, stock carbs (with Grose-Jets) an

- To venture a guess by going backwards in your story - if a plug wire had fallen off the cap, the car would have a misfire and serious lack of power. These symptoms appeared or were present after you

- Thanks, David. Your analysis more or less parallels my thought process. We are overdue for a tune-up, so I can go through the carbs, as you suggest. I didn't mention that I have had one or two incide

- FWIW: Years ago, before emission controls, it was a kids trick to turn of the ignition of a car while coasting, and then turn it back on. If it was done correctly, the engine would give a very loud

- Ver-r-r-ry interesting... that's a new one to me. It's plausible, though. I may want a new set of wires -- can anyone recommend a high-quality source? PS Blake, I got your check. I'll hold it until t
