Hello all,
I have a 1950 3100 with a 216. Just rebuilt Rochester model b, new plugs, wires, cap, rotor, condenser. Rebuild fuel pump. Vacuum advance works. Starts easy. Idles like a purring kitten. Give it high RPM in gear or in neutral it sounds horrible. My wife describes its sound like a "barfing dinosaur". I can hear a back fire every once in a while in the tailpipes. I did the timing twice. Ballbearing at point. Cylinder #1 at firing position. Any help or direction is appreciated. Yes vacuum advance moves distributor upon acceleration.///I will re check points gap after work & wires// Thank you.///Update. Vacuum advance working.....points set @.016. wires all correct 153624...Will check Carb after work. Thank you All for your input.
