Hello Again...
I've been having similar problems to Bret's MGB. MY 74 MGB goes really well on flat roads, but if I try to go up a modest incline I have a hard time getting the revs up (low power). This happens in 1st. If I'm lucky my MG will slowly chug along until I get to the top of the hill, the revs/power will increase and I'm off. There have been times when I've stalled, the ignition light has come on, and I have had to roll backwards onto the road below!
This is not an ideal situation.
All the emissions control items have been removed, I have a new coil, alternator, points, plugs (0.032) and wires. The dwell is set (60), and my timing is at 11 @ 1500. What else should I do?
BTW, my plugs do look somewhat sooty (not oily); the engine has been running a little rich.
Help!
