273 won't start regularly
I have tried both with and without the choke open on restarts with equally poor results.
I do not have an electronic ignition. Here are some photos of my distributor. Points look clean as far as I can tell. The one photo has a screwdriver holding the points apart.
As far as vapor lock goes, I understand the concept, and I just tried to start the car again after letting it sit for 6 hours, and nothing fired.
For the carburetor float sticking, I don't know how much gasoline should be coming in when the accelerator is depressed, but it seems like alot, I can see the fuel squirting across the carb like it is coming out of a water bottle like a football player would squirt through his facemask. This is only when I manually pull on the gas pedal cable, though.
