point adjustment
By erin - 05/03/2006 3:11:15 AM; IP 69.56.108.15
I recently did a tune up on my 67 coupe (289 v8) to solve a few problems I was having keeping my car running. I changed the points, spark plugs, condensor cap, rotor, and adjusted the carberator. Everything is right on according to my Chilton's manual. But the engine is still not running smoothly when it is not idleing. I thought it might be the points, so I readjusted them and drove the car for about 10 minutes and the problem seemed to be fixed. Then I tried driving the car 2 hours later, and I started having the same problem. I have a manual transmition, with a two barrel Holley carb adjusted to 19 psi. The idle is at 600rpm. There are no vacuum leaks from the carburetor. What could this be?
