Hello,
I've had my 1962 Bugeye for about 3 years and I only drive it on nice days
when I get the itch. The original drivetrain was restored a few years ago and
it's always started on the first try and run like a top whenever I pulled the
starter switch. I was surprised a few weeks ago when it started a kind of
slow, idled a bit rough and when I got out on the road was missing badly
whenever I pushed on the accelerator. The miss kind of goes away when I let
off the accelerator but it's bad enough that I can't exceed about 30 - 40 mph.
I thought it may have some bad fuel and I was running low so I put some
premium in with no change. Then I thought a plugged fuel filter so I changed
that with no fix. Now I've put new spark plugs in and it's still the same.
Should I look at points, condenser, cap and wires next? Also, I'm not really
sure how those wires fit into that distributor cap...
Thanks,
Dan Corning
