1976 dodge truck missing badly - 11/22/12 03:29 PM
My dad has a 1976 dodge truck 360 automatic 2wd. Recently it started missing badly after the truck is warmed up. Occassionally it wont even start from a cold start but usually does and runs fine until warmed up. He has replaced all electronics (coil, ballast resistor, voltage regulator, electronic ignition, plugs, plug wires, etc) except for the wiring itself. Fuel pump, fuel filter and we swapped on a different carberator as well and the problem still exists. Any ideas as to what could be causing this problem? Thanks.

do a quick cly balance test, pull one wire off at a time, see what clys are dead.. then u can pull plugs and inspect wires.. and then do a compression test..if u have low enough comprssion it will even sound funny while cranking over

start with and eliminate the basics, firing order/plug wires, coil terminal wires correct? timing...etc,etc, eliminate the basics, rather than chasing ghosts

Kinda seems to me like a choke problem, or maybe a vacuum leak.
