Thanks for all your replys. I am fairly certain that I just need to tweek things. In the last 18 months I have installed new plugs, plug wires, points, condenser, rotor, coil, a remanufactured Carter Yf carb made for the chevy 235, new wiring harness, new battery, new ground strap, and last but not least a new ignition switch. And now that it has warmed up some here in Western Colorado I think I will go work on the old girl. Thanks again, Jimmie.
