Dang it! Gonna have a hard time getting the Dart to the Mason Dixon race if it's running the way it is. here's what I'm dealing with:
-missing on 1 (maybe 2) cylinders, but can't figure out which because the motor won't stay running long enough for me to run around and check it out.
-car won't run period below 30 btdc l, which I don't understand at all.
-overheating, likely caused by extreme timing
-super short on power
-sluggish throttle response
-weirdly 17 in vac at idle
I'm stumped. The points are new and set to .020. The carb seems to be doing its job. The jets are clear and power valve is new and the car was running fine after putting them in. The valves were lashed about 3000 miles ago. What am I missing?
