Fellow fiends:
Okay, after a few previous boastful postings I guess its my turn for humble
pie: on the drive home Friday the '63 B developed a misfire. That is, I
feel a subtle lurch in the car and an interruption in the normal sound of
the engine, pretty frequently too. No backfire and no obvious sound from
the carbs. Only happens under load, not in the garage blipping the
throttle. Is this just bad timing? There is no knock. Keep in mind I have
new wires, new plugs, new coil. Is this a carb problem? Is my coil bad
already? I am certain this is a problem that just developed. In earlier
drives in the car it ran fine. Any and all advice would be appreciated.
