318 issue! S.O.S lol

needsaresto said

Like was said.Start with the basics.
1)Firing order.Make sure it's right.Cast right on the manifold.
2)Timing.Check it first an adjust if neccesary.
3)plugs,cap ,rotor,points,wires.Check for slop in dist shaft while cap is off.Replace if excessive.
4)Clean out the carb.Replace the fuel filter.Adjust


I've seen badly fowled plugs do this.Pull one and look for carbon.

Hey thanks for this reply....very orderly I like it lol nd thanks to the previous ppl for ur replys! I went after work today to mess with the car again...I know have the complete tune up stuff...I havnt done the tune up yet...

here's what I found out...the carb is an ***...something isn't working right...it fires fine...

there is a little piece on the carb that looks like a dish that sucks air in...im not sure if its the vacum advance or choke or wutever...I took off the lil hose on it...and the engine ran way smoothly...and ran it down the street fine! and then it began stalling again...my hopes came down again...

so I have a feeling the carb or some vacum thing...I don't knnt know....is bad....tomorrow I will do the tune up...just to get that out of the way.
