Well its been awhile since i talked to you guys but have been busy on the car since, Brakes are all done except for notching the strut arm support to make room for the new master cylinder.
But anyways since i talked to you guys i replaced the points, put a new vacuum advance becasue it was shot, checked the plug wires for arching, also changed the plugs. I rebuilt the carb had some issues in that, like the shop that i got it from but the gasket on backwards(the one between the airhorn and the body. basically the carb wasnt working i had like just a throttle body on it but anyways on to the problem.
I have the car idling and it runs smooth, slight knock in the enigne, probably needs rebuilt thinking maybe a push rod is bad not sure yet. Yes it has oil and water it flushed and changed both and check it each time i start it. I dont appear to be losing oil or burning. But under accleration i get a backfire popping in the carb like pop pop pop. So i tried to losen the distrubutor. The bolt that holds it in is almost out so i know the distrubutor should turn but it barley moves.
IS that a problem in my mind its is also should i adjust the vacuum advance, this new one makes me put an allan wrench into it and turn it clockwise or counter clockwise to adjust the advance what are your thoughts. Thanks again
