It "feels" like an ignition problem, but I'm not sure how to troubleshoot it. I may be missing something easy. Here's the problem. After installing my new (reman) Super Six BBD carburetor, I have an intermittent stumble at idle, only when in gear (never in Park or Neutral). Some days it's...

I'm rebuilding the distributor on my car to adjust the timing advance. My driving is mostly at lower RPM, almost never above 3000. What is a good starting point for total mechanical and vacuum advance on this build? - 1974 Dart with 904 transmission and 2.71 differential - 225, rebuilt with...

I'm wondering if I need to start planning a rebuild. SlantSixDan says yes in my post about this on slantsix.org and I don't doubt he's right, but I thought I'd start a new post here since there are some smart folks here who don't frequent the .org side. This is a bone stock 1974 225 with 82K...
