If it's not the same we can use a process of elimination to not spend money and narrow the problem down.

??? Is the car "swithed84" is talking about a Ford???

Where are you now on this problem??
The same as we discussed two days ago??

If yes, two things to do.
One with the car running disconnect a vacuum line directly from the carberator. The car SHOULD start running rough.
Next disconnect one spark plug wire while the car is running BE CAREFUL. The car SHOULD start missing.

Tell what happens when you do each one of these.


My porpose is to eliminate ignition or vacuum leak. Then we can go to fuel....

Unhooked all vacuum lines and really didnt notice a difference. Now when it warms up, how open should the carburator be? Also I reved it up some and it shot fire out the carb, so I turned up the timing just a bit and it quit doing that. Also unhooked #1 spark plug and nothing...
