Ok. I think ive figured out whats going on. I timed it today to about 11-12* at idle. Took it for a quick 5 min ride almost ran perfect. Didnt cut out at the WOT near as much. Then took it to the gym, 15 miles away and it ran ok. Headed home back to running so bad i didnt think it was going to...

Arg.... Can someone please tell me what voltage im looking for at the coil. "+" Terminal. I though it was 12V. Also there is a wire going from the positive side (about 6" long) to the bolt holding the bracket into the manifold. Near the end about the size of a tootsie roll is a black piece...

No , there is no backfiring when i let off the pedal. That's the bridge.. lol

No afterfire on decel. We are talking about crappy running during a forced wot, 3-2. That's what its doing. Any gear, when you really get in it.. Runs like crap. The video sucks... but I'm in Texas and its an oven inside that thing even with the windows down. Decel is fine. it's only on the...

Sent this to a friend that has several rods. He said its absolutley fuel/carb related... Not saying he is right... Just throwing it out there...

Hard to tell with all the noise but here ya go... Each time i adjusted the timing i feel like it got better or worse. Could just be what i want to think... lol... Its not as bad as it was at all... but it sucks... https://youtu.be/4r6JK4Z-GQQ

Just borrowed neighbors timing light. Turns out mine was junk. When its set to Zero no bounce. Advance the dial and it starts instantly. So, thats outta the way at least

All, ive done to the dizzy so far is pop the cap to inspect. Looks clean and well. Looks can be deceiving. As I mentioned earlier, if i try to rotate to gain advance in the dizzy it only slides out about half way of the slots its sitting in. I wasnt sure if this was all it did or if it was to...

I adjusted the step up piston as described per rebuilt kit. If i remember correctly it was to back out the idle stop screws and allow butterfly to completly close. press down on the piston tab while holding the piston down and tighten. Float was accordingly as well, first did it i had fuel...

Was going to road test and put a video, i still my do so but I can get past why this is happening. No slack machanically, I'm thinking my light is hitting at a different time. But then again, thats why im on the forum :) https://youtu.be/svsalEpdGXk

Also, I will get a video now...

No side play in the shaft , I thought of that. I can go check the reluctor. I will also post pics. Should the advance mechanism open up all the way if i grab that and turn it? I noticed the slots that its sitting i can only get it to go half way. Didnt know if it had to much spring pressure on...

Can someone also direct me where the Mainwells in the carb are? I may as well get those sprayed out. I had it completely apart to rebuild it and sprayed every hole with no blockage. I'm wondering if there is something else i could have done.

OK, horribly stupid question. On my timing marks, it reads 5 | 0 | 5 . Now to get from 0-5 on my light dial it about 6 lines @ 2* scale on the light so 12 * on the light. Am, I correct for keeping this scale as 12* on my light equals 5* on the engine? I was just wondering because if i bought...

I swear this car i jinxed... LMAO.. my tach is either shot or something is up. Went out for a bit this morning. The needle is erratic. Sometimes at 0 then to 2500 then 1100... All while the engine is idling fine... My gut tells me the tach is probably fine ... Maybe ill post up some vids on...

Look normal to me. Compared it to my Lawnmower gas and its the same... Pump is spitting fuel out in spurts. I assume this is normal for a mech pump

It was practically empty when I decided to bring it down to Texas. Off the trailer on the way home I filled it up. Ran another 30 miles or so. Then did the carb. I will go check color now. I wasnt privileged enough to get a clear filter... I will post a pic...

Final update: Just got back in again. Hooked the timing light up. Not to make adjustments but to observe. My mark will bounce 4-5 degrees every ten revolutions or so. Brand New Light. Something shorting out ignition? Where to I even start? Let it run for about three minutes... It bounced a 5-6*...

Would new pushrods cause the valves to be to tight? Non -Adjustable rockers here. I have set the timing as you mentioned. Same issue. Then I set it at around 8* BTDC little better. Ive got it back set as you mentioned and am done messing with ignition timing. It's set. I did pull the valve...

:):):) :):):):)

Thats what i was going off of but i wanted to double check.. What threw me off is (in another thread) im trying to set timing. I'm on the compression stroke and now about to find TDC but the "mark" i saw when i checked the timing earlier is nowhere even close to be seen

I search the forum with not to much luck. Can someone confirm the cylinder locations on a 75' 318 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 Front So cylinder # one i the piston closest to the radiator on the drivers side correct?

Hard to tell... I tried to sand as much as the junk off as i could. Looks like 5 | 0 | 5 If thats the case then its 2.5* BTDC.

No, you are fine.. I know it could be a multitude of things and you cant exactly fix it via the computer. You just gave me a great checklist to check. I have a timing light and honestly ive never checked it. Where should it be. As far as I know it only has a mild cam in it. Couldn't tell you...

Got everything buttoned up. Now the only time its cutting out is at WOT on the down shift. ....

Im about to hit the sack. I turned out the lights in the shop and found a short. The choke wire is peeled way back and touching the linkage. I'm not saying that is going to solve everything but I got part of it straightened out. What is the ammeter? It's got an alt vs a starter. wouldnt the...

Ok, got everything done and checked. Pressure was good and we now have a new filter. One main issue i think it the idle screw was set to low. Around 500... I got the idle to just under 900RPM. 860ish. Adjusted the carb and she will sit there and idle all day. Took it out and the same stuff...

Thats what it sounds like. I pulled a plug and it looks like its been running lean.. I'll post up a pic. I cant find my pressure gauge. Wait.... Isn't it a mechanical fuel pump..? What psi am i looking for ? Fuel Filter wouldn't hurt... If i knew where it was.... Google here i come...

Hey there, I have a 75 Duster with a 318. Carter 2 BBL Carb. Car has maybe been drove 50 miles in the past year. I finally got it to my new home ..TEXAS!!! She turn over nice but is seems to take 2 batteries before she will actually start. Today I decided to rebuild and go through the carb...

thank you sir
