I do have a Pertronix kit in wait. I was hoping to make use of
the new points before I converted.
I'm not so sure the timing is set right.
Went out for a drive earlier today.
On the highway, the car began losing some power
and felt like it wanted to stall. I made it off the hwy
and on the way back home it stalled out several times.
At one point the fuel pump was going a little bonkers.
I had plenty of gas sitting in the fuel filter in the engine bay.
I looked at the fuel filter under the rear seat. It too looked
full of fuel and pretty clean. Any thoughts on how to proceed?
Hrm, possibly a weak pump? It may flow enough under part load, but not under a higher load after a few minutes? Did it seem to run relatively smoothly as if there was still consistent spark? About how long did it take on the highway before the problem started?
