Ok so yesterday i got some time to finally work on the car.

#1 I installed a new epoxy filled Flamethrower coil.

#2 I took out the air screws and cleaned them. blew out the opening in the carb and reinstalled to factory one and a half turns.
Then cleaned the inside and exterior of the carb with spray cleaner.


#3 Switched the distrubter vacume hose from the left side of the carb to the right just for kicks.

#4 Replaced the FRAM oval air grabber filter with a stock paper filter.



One thing i noticed was my indash tach started reading correctly again. I know this as for a long time it read about 500RPM high. Now it is exactly on the money with my new Sun tach i just installed.

I drove it all over last night and it still popped slighty only now when in 4th gear on the freeway under 2000 RPM but it's 75% better i would say. When i drove it on the surface streets it had no more issues at all as i would not stay in the lower RPM range for any legenth of time.


So i'm pretty happy things are almost cleared up. I think the next thing is to take the carb apart and look at the main jets for any issues.

Thanks for all the good ideas and advice.
