RE: 390 sputtering from dead dig

Since your car was stored, a fuel problem is likely. However, most problems are ignition related. Try cleaning the points with a bit of emery paper first. Wires are new, so not too likely a problem there. But try running the car at night anyway, and look for spark leakage around the wires, coil, etc. As far as fuel goes, try a little alcohol in the tank as there may be water in it due to condensation. Next is to clean the carb. Oh, one other thing.....make sure some squirrel didn't load your air cleaner full of acorns. This has happened to me more than once.....chuckle.
This thread, so far...
