1979 Stock Spitfire.
Very slow acceleration. The car runs very, very well, but won't get
out of it's on way. I've had many spits, none have been this gutless,
that I can remember. I just drove my friends 1980 spit, & it had allot
more acceleration than mine.
I have advanced the timing, slight increase in performance but not
enough. I thought maybe a hung up brake caliper, but none seemed warm to
the touch after driving it? Carbs seem to run good?
Maybe a restriction in the exhaust (the car sat outside for a couple
of years before I purchased it).
Any suggestions?
