Another Mopar Off My Bucket List - Barracuda Fastback
I probably should have called Mike about the way the motor was behaving right away. I trust that he'd most likely have gotten me on track. Part of me wants to solve it on my own. I get a certain satisfaction from troubleshooting. But with everything else I've got going on (and the fact that I've been putting a higher priority on the rest of the vehicles) I will give him a call within the next few days. I'd like to have the vacuum tester here first so that I can give him more info when I speak with him.
I don't believe the fuel delivery is an issue. I've got a new tank, new 3/8" fuel line running front to rear, and Mike supplied a new mechanical pump. As far as ignition goes, I'd be more likely to suspect it if all of the plugs weren't covered in carbon. I know it does develop a miss but it seems to coincide with how clean/dirty the plugs are. My money is still on too much fuel.
Meanwhile you can see how the driveway has morphed from car work space to truck shop.
