Regular gas and seemed to be running fine on the open road at speed. Gas is
from (possibly) three different stations as I don't trust my gas guage so I
don't let it get too low.
Plugs were black but not all over. I was able to wipe it off. I looked at three
plugs (one is difficult to get to with the EI module on the dizzy) and they
were all the same. I have not looked it up yet, what do black plugs mean?
Continued thanks

Okay, that eliminates one thing!
All four plugs fouled?
Black oily wet, or black carbon dry deposits?
Regular gas or high test?
Any chance that you and Stan stopped at the same gas station and got some
bad gas?

Sorry all. I have an EI dizzy and the timing was corrected last March.

I will talk about MidOhio when I get home, for now though, I need some help:
We made it to our stopping point in Plymouth, IN with little to no issues.
(at one point I thought I was getting some hesitation (missing??)
acceleration through 2nd into 3rd, but it may have been the wind pushing me
around as it was windy as
#$%&@ coming across 30 today. I pulled off the highway and looked at the
plugs--their condition below. The rear carb was low on oil so I fixed that.
Regardless of the wind, this situation did not continue after we started out
again.
After dropping Connie at the hotel I went in search of a liquor store. When
I was leaving the liquor store, every gear was hesitating, bucking, etc. I
got back to the hotel and pulled a couple plugs. Before we left for MidOhio,
they were a light brown. Now they are black and smell slightly burnt. We put
new carbs on last March and the car has been running great ever since. This
is the first time I have had any issues. I seems to be idling a little rough
right now as well.
This is a de-smogged 70 1600.
PLEASE, sound off folks.
thanks
Tim
