Hello members,

Well, I got the car running.....sort of.

I tried starting it the other day and it seemed close. It also seemed like a car that had the timing just a little off. I had checked the timing before but thought I would experiment this time.

Well, I adjusted the dist. while my dad tried to start the car. After a turn of about 15 degrees, the car started. Throttle response was poor and sounded like the car was getting a bit too much fuel and choking out. I could rev it up though so I was hopefull.

I got the car ready to go for a little trip and she ran fine to the end of the driveway (about 50 yards). But as soon as I got on the road, she bogged down and died. I tried starting it again and got nothing. It just turned over with no hint of firing.

So this has got me wondering if it is possible for the dist. gear to slip on the crankshaft. Any other thougths?

Did you pull out the distributor drive shaft? Could have installed it a tooth off.
