Thanks. Intake and carb vacuum ports are plugged, can’t find any leaks. Mechanical pump is airtex brand. Point gap changes when the hold down screw is tightened so it takes a lot of messing around to get it right. When it throttles up it will go but it wants to die when I let off the pedal. I’ll check out the 200,000 mile condenser and get a new set of points. I just hate to mess with the ignition if my carb is the problem. How do you identify and correct a lean condition?
