Noticed a real lack of power last week, tried backing up on the ramps and almost couldn't make it. Noticed the left HE was hot and the right cold. Definatly have spark on all cylinders and gass seems to work on both carbs. Unfortunatly the car is tucked away for winter, but what should I check come spring. Why would one side fire fine and the other no go.

pull a spark plug see if it is wet. one carb maybe flooded one side. have the plug wires been off recently? maybe they were put on the wrong terminal of the dizzy cap. check cap and rotor...

It's a start anyway...
