The 1969 MGC (stock engine, automatic transmission) has developed a new problem.
Timing set at 14BTDC as per Schlemmer suggests with this rebuilt dizzy.
Fuel pump is an electronic "square box" that delivers at about 3 psi.
Temperature gauge running about one needle to the right of "N"...which is actually rather cool for this car.
Starts fine and idles sweet at about 950rpm (where I like it). Acceleration very good when first starting a trip.
I took the car on a 15 minute run today to fill the tank with fuel.
After starting the car after the fuel stop, it began to stumble upon acceleration and even though I could run at speed (70mph), when I slowed for a stop sign or turn, the idle was eratic.
This happened last month in Indy to the point where the car died at stop signs and would barely start....I had to nurse her back to the hotel.
After cooling down, the car runs fine...and in fact ran the two hours from Indy to home fine....until I reached the top of the exit ramp and had to stop....where>>>it repeated the last paragraph.
Does this sound like fuel delivery?????
