HI, have a stock, rebuilt 216 that original for my 1940 truck. I just pulled it out of winter storage and now its having problems. This is a two stage story of events so please bear with me...
#1 Problem:
When I took the truck out from winter storage, started right up, sounded great, idle smooth, and ran fine at low RPM. Although, when you push the accelerator more than half way...it sputters, shakes, and has absolutely no high RPM power.
#2 The remedies I tried:
-Ran it around all day with fresh gas/fuel additives.
-Fresh AC delco sparkplugs with correct gaping
-Regapped points and corrected cam dwell.
NONE OF THESE REMEDIES WORKED.
-So I Placed a new set of point on AND NOW IT WONT START AT ALL AND I"M NOT GETTING ANY SPARK!
*** What is going on here?
