I set the timing assuming that my dwell was OK. I was able to get it to stay on 27 degrees at 3500 rpms. The car now idles OK and runs good UNTIL it is warmed up and then it starts gutting out. I think I'll change the fuel filter since I saw someone mention that helped them in a similar situation. The distributor cam does seem to have some play up and down, but not side to side. I also don't see a felt tip on top of it like mentioned in the Haynes book on page 66. I'm not sure what the felt tip on top of the cam does.
Questions:
1) Will the Pertronix or Compufire work if there is play in the distributor cam?
2) What are the odds off getting a rebuilt distributor?
3) The dwell may be off since I can't get a good reading. Could my symptoms of bucking when the car is warm be related to dwell?
Some other thoughts I've gathered from posts on this site and the 914 club site:
1) Try grounding the head temp sensor. I metered it and it looked good, but I may check it again. Make sure it is not in contact with plug wire.
2) Unhook TSP to see if it stops bucking. If so, clean or reposition.
Any comments or ideas are appreciated. I'm new to working on cars so anything will help.
