Hi guys, I'm getting a bit of an intermittent running problem with my car and I can't quite put my finger on it .
It appears to be running on less than 6 cylinders at low revs maybe even higher up the rev range but that may be being masked by the exhaust noise, It seems to come and go, Last night it was fine today it sounds like a bag of bolts.
I was thinking it must be a problem with carbaration because everything else is new, I'm running an MSD type A ignition box with the big racing MSD coil as well as a rebuilt 2.8 electronic dizzy with new 8mm leads and new plugs.
As well as running rough it doesn't pick up speed quite as fast as it should, I've removed one of the carbs recently to adjust the float level, Would an incorrect float level cause problems ?, How about an air leak between the carb and manifold ?.
Its been a long while since I've worked on an old car like this so any advice regarding this problem would be greatfully recieved, I'm tempted just to chuck my new webers on and see what happens .
