Took her to the shop for some tweaking...
new Skip White distributor installed, new plug wires, re-sealed and filled rear end.
Retuned as well. Seems to pull a good bit harder on the butt dyno. Two things: 1) The dizzy is LOUD. Sounds like a hissing sound of air leaking in the cab. Odd (my engine is STOCK, so its pretty quiet) 2) I now have a studder/jump when in D, and full on the brakes idling. It even died on me once. The mechanic said to bump up my idle on the carb. sounded like a semi-meh fix. Any thoughts? Also, got my compression tested. driver side, front to back: 120/130/120/130 Pass side: 115/120/105/110 Not bad for a 150k mile 35 year old engine. |

Are you sure you didn't break or disconnect a vacuum line? I would check that out pretty close.... LockDoc

Re: Took her to the shop for some tweaking...
the hissing makes me think of the carb not being adjusted right
