<gulp> I hadn't thought of that possibility!

Those of you that followed this thread are aware that my 68 is currently down waiting on parts. Anyway, I was talking to my old man this evening and we ran through the symptoms again. He reminded me of a rather nasty possibility... a hole in a piston!

I'm keeping my fingers crossed, but only a compression test will tell for sure. In the mean time, I'm hunting down an HEI unit and a swap-on carb to eliminate those possibilities. Oh, man... that'd be just my luck!

But, that wouldn't explain A) the fact that it threw a very similar fit about a month ago then cleared itself out and B) the off-idle hesitation, would it? That's more like what a pissy carb would do, yeah? Jeez... I hope so!
