Hello all,
Finally got myself a dwell meter and tach combo and decided to do some
adjusting to attempt to fix my lumpy idle. Well, after all of the following...
carbs recently rebuilt by Jim Taylor
carbs equalized and adjusted
fuel pump- ok
new fuel filter
new points
new condenser
new rotor
new dist cap
new plugs
new coil
plug wires seem ok
checked the dwell per spec- ok
checked the timing per spec- ok
...the idle is still lumpy. It just will not stay in one place. The idle
probably fluctuates in a range of 150 RPMs. At higher RPM, there is a faint
miss that is not really rythmic, but more intermittent. At idle, the car
runs very rough with the miss being much more pronounced (but still
intermittent). At this point, any and all suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance :)
