I was thinking the same thing.

P.S. there are plenty of Pelican's in the Orlando area who, I'm sure, would be glad to help. Try this thread: Central Florida Project Group

I'll take the prize behind curtain #4.

also with carbs it's somewhat easy to tell what direction the engine miss is coming from if you have a lot of shop experience with them. It's either distinctly ignition, fuel, etc.. kinda like take the air cleaners off the carbs and slam the crossbar till it's spitting and coughing through carbs or exhaust till you think it's ready to blow up.. look for fire, how it coughs, how it breaks up. If it's a customer's car it's easier to put the engine through the beating.

good entertainment for me... thx

also some say Ronnie, Ron, Ronald comes from the Egyptian god 'Ra. The sort of pronunciation leads to majesty.

rmacejewski, I have found RoninLB's advice to be spot on when dealing with my 1977.

Please keep this thread going and get back to us with what the shop says.
