that was too easy! More info on how it it acting, WOT or part throttle? why are you thinking it needs to be replaced? any other changes made that might be related? the cleaning did help so that does point to the carb. More info please.


Car idles fine, most of the time, but on occasion does have a slight skip. When I had the timing light on the car you could see the miss. The light would momentarily go out. When driving it around the neighborhood and you accelerate the car dies. Does not cut off but just loses power. If you try and feather the gas to keep it running it spark knocks bad. Like it is going very lean. I have not had this problem in the past? The car was half ass restored so I am sure there are plenty of gremlins to work out still.

With it being Christmas and family in town probably will not be able to pick this up until next week.

Thanks for the help

Merry Christmas!!
