·i have been wrestling poor idle, rough running for several days... today some of my fellow vmf'rs suggested vacumn leaks - much to my dread because i had checked those that i could get to... my fear was as someone suggested - that it was a mis-aligned intake gasket...
luckily someone else suggested that the points may be the culprit... at first i thought - no way... surely it was fuel/air mixture related. it had all the symptoms.... but i said before i yank the intake off i better check the points... THAT WAS IT!
i thought i had set them within tolerance - .025... it speaks for itself... hand me that dufas trophy... others are free to call it dumb$#$$ trophy - i deserve it....
couldn't of done it without ya!
now on to the brakes, horn, front end, etc.....
thanks
