Re: No Advance Mechanism!!

Put a timing light on it. Definitely not advancing going on.
So, I'm going to retro fit the distributor with the advance mechanism. I see there are a couple of vendors that offer weights/spring/pins as a kit.

Any advise on which set to buy?

No Advance Mechanism!!

...and yet it runs. The 1967 coupe I'm working on had an aftermarket ignition system that was installed by the P.O. I could not determine the manufacturer of the magnetic trigger, so I replaced it with a Pertronix Ignitor II. Also replaced the MSD 6A. When in the distributor, I noticed all the parts...

Re: 2.0 Liter Stalling at Stops

Thanks for the responses.
At some point in the past, I raised the float levels when chasing a flat spot around 2500 RPM. That, and a jet change solved the flat spot.

Two things I will try/verify:
  • Float levels for DCNs.
  • Measure fuel pressure with a gauge while driving.
I'll report my findings.

2.0 Liter Stalling at Stops

I have a 2.0 liter coupe (1967) that starts and runs very well. Carbs rebuilt recently. Ignition is new - MSD and Pertronix trigger, wires. However, with the warm idle set at 800 rpm, when I come to a stop, the engine revs drop and it dies unless I blip the throttle. Nearly everything in the car is ...
