Well, I think the problem has been narrowed a bit. On Brad's advice, I
checked the distributor. It was a little loose. I mean, it takes a little
effort to move it, but it does turn. Perhaps while it was running yesterday
the distributor turned a little... .. Hmmm.. Damn. Just call me Moronasaurus
Rex. Looks like I'm compounding maladjusted components. Oh goodie. What a
way to be re-initiated into the world of LBCs after so many years. Trial by
fire, eh?
I just want to take it for a drive before i tear out the seats/interior and
start the bodywork, that's all. Is it too much to ask??? =)
Thanks everyone for your advice and patience.
