Hello Sports (Car) Fans,
Kind of got into this a bit in the "4th of July" thread....
'62 BT7 Tricarb. --Breaking down under load. Idles ok, and will run
relatively well in the higher gears, though stumbles badly when the gas pedal
is mashed. Stumbling is worst for some reason under (attempted) acceleration
in 1st gear. Sometimes accompanied by a backfire through the carbs.
Question: If I manually twist the rotor in the distributor, advancing it, it
does not exactly "snap" back to the non advanced position. However, to my
recollection, it never has, in many years of driving.. --Does this, and the
symptoms warrant pulling the distributor and cleaning / lubricating the
mechanical advance, and or replacing any internal springs?
The car has : New cap, rotor, condenser, points, plug wires, coil, and plugs.
