Billy:
Check your timing and if your distributors advance mechanism is working properly. Good luck. Ron D

I'd suggest premium fuel, if you're not doing it already. These leaded beasts prefer higher octaine.

lead add
now I am not suggesting we circumvent the tree huggers (some of my best friends like trees-use them during walks daily)..
here in the colonies stores sell an "off road use only" lead additive. every try a small shot of something like this? off road of course.  If not available.. I could try to mail some to you. who knows, it might get thru ...says it reduces emmisions.. so it says anyway. chuck n tx (wife from eastbourne) 67 912 65 mgb v6 others of lesser class

cheers for the info, i think im going to try the higher octane fuel, though it is quite expensive over here, but that's still better than ruining a good engine, innit!
p.s. just on the off chance i dont know whether anywhere over there still supply the interior alu' strip along the dash board do they? |
