I have a 75 Duster /6. Lately the car has been not receiving enough power at night to run the headlights, turn signal and brakes. If I come up to a light I either have to two foot it to keep it running or it will just start surging (dim, bright, dim, bright) the headlights and then stall. It seems to not be able to handle all the lights on and still drive... any ideas?
Also today I thought I would check out the spark plugs and rockers and arms... and here is a picture of what the 1,5,6 plugs (closest to the back of the engine compartment going forward) looked like. 2,3,4 are all clean looking. What could cause this?
Oh and heres a little background info. We had some troubles with the night time stalling and were told to replace the ballast resistor... so we did that... right after we did that the car would not start at all! So we put the old one back on and barely made it home... figured out the NSS was loose.... not sure how that happened but thats what caused that. Ever since that day the car is having problems starting, staying started once in gear (unless I push the gas and brake while placing it in gear then she runs fine), she has been getting really hot, boiling the fuel (placed rubber vacuum line tubing over the fuel line yesterday to see if that helps) stalling for no reason. Did a carb rebuild a couple weeks back and everything seemed fine until the temp got over 80 degrees here. Any ideas?!?! Thanks everyone!
