Hi guys
So I"m back, same car, same problem.
always start at the begining.
1974 Dodge Dart swinger, 318, auto, air..(never used)
up untill about Jan or last year the car ran nice.
then the vacumn pot on the dist went out.
So I replaced the Dist (cardone, rebuilt) well since that day
the car has never run right.
It would ping when just easing off the line.. and would back fire
if I tried to punch it. If I excellirate fast, she will pop back through
the Carb (twide) then I let off the gas..
I have 21" mercruy at idle, the vacuum port on the carb for
the Dist is at 11" merc. that is also on the Dist side of the
valve on side of air cleaner housing..
40K coil, plugs gaped at 34K, all wire tight...
at idle 750rpm TDC... with vacuum line attached its around 13 BTDC
Hope someone can help..
Best
Dave
