Need some help troubleshooting an intermittent, erratic idle on an original 340 motor. The problem started just two weeks after the car was running fine. Started her up and the idle issue began. Have replaced plugs, plug wires, cap & rotor, battery, fuel filter, fuel appears good. Checked points, look in good shape (Mallory Duel point distributor). Car has fairly new Carter 600 AVS carb (original equipment). Idle issue happens at idle as well as rebbing in higher RPMs so seems to be electrical. Have not checked coil or condenser and am running out of things to check. When not experiencing idle issue, engine purrs and sounds great. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!
