Maybe I missed it in another thread, but did you ever figure out what was causing the problems with your car? I had replied to your first thread when this all started as I was having a similar problem with my 65 Newport. I am now happily running the original points distributor in mine. My electronic conversion is on the bench waiting until I have winter down time to trouble shoot it.




I still have not gotten to the root of the problem yet. I just got my old TQ back that was on the car last year. I replaced that carb with one from HARMS because the car was not warming properly, but I have now been educated and think that may have just been a choke linkage issue. So I hope to correct that and run my old TQ. I am going to put that one back on and see if the problem goes away. The car ran ok last season after it warmed up with that carb, but I didn't take it on any long drives because the resto was fresh and I was staying close to home. I want to try to rule out weather or not the problem is coming from the carb before I start changing more ignition parts. I hope to do the carb swap one night this weekend.
