[quote=ndkid275]So did you set the timing correctly? How much is it raising your RPMs? Is your vacuum advance moving the distributor? Have you checked fuel filter and fuel pump pressure?
Just a few thoughts off the top of my head.
The timing isn't set correctly, I have no timing light. I was hoping to get it running good enough to get it to the shop. I'd turn the distributer until it idled smoothly, which it does idle smooth. It raises the RPM approximately from about 800 to 1200 RPM. I put a new fuel pump on it and replaced the gas tank, cleaned all of the lines and rebuilt the carb, altho not to sure if it's rebuilt correctly or not. I'm beginning to think it has carb issues. Seems like the vacuum advance is free and moves OK, is there a way I can tell? Thanks so much for the reply. Stovebolt forums is the place to go when getting a little frustrated.
