Car is bucking and surging...

...........Disconnect the vac hose 2 the dist.........if problem goes away, replace the pickup assambly.............kim...........

oldkimmer has a point, the vacuum advance plate is only held on by a small pin and a spring steel clip. Over time they get sloppy and the vacuum advance can pull the pickup away from the reluctor.

Make sure your ignition box has a good solid ground to the firewall too.....
