Yes this is very true. At first, it really was just going to being a little "freshening up". New fuel system and maybe a mini tub. But things just went south and I said screw it. Let's do this car right! So some money and time later, here we are. When I got it all back together, it wasn't running right. I changed nothing on the motor except fuel which it's getting plenty of now. I checked the carb (HP 950) and it's all clean inside. Running 80's on the main jets (comes from factory with 78's I believe). The timing was off so I set it back to 36 degrees which made it idle a lot better and did make it run better. But I'm still getting some cutting out at higher RPM. I would think that if it was the carb running lean, it should still run good. So I'm crossing that out as being the culprit. It did not cut out before I started all this. So I'm thinking ignition now. Ordered some new Taylor Thundervolt 50 spark plug wires and I have a Pertronix Ignitor III and new coil that I was already going to throw on as well. Hopefully that will cure the problem. If not, :dontknow:. Here's a quick video test running it. It really doesn't show the cutting out because I didn't push it all the way and I doubt my friend's phone would have picked it up anyway.
