hi all. despite my previous post on the heater core (which is now bypassed), I have an issue I hope you can help with.
Today marks the first day I was able to drive the car out of the neighborhood and not have to push her home... But, she ran great for about a half an hour then while cruising at 60 I lost engine power.
The electrical didn't flicker so I want to assume it is fuel related (aftermarket facet low pressure w/out fuel regulator). it didn't quit altogether and I was able to limp home firing on 2 cylinders and the accelerator half-way to the floor.
I let it sit for about 5 minutes, turned the key and she runs just as she did at the start of the trip (wonderful).
I know it is not point related b/c I have the pertronix installed. I'm going to check fuel flow and for a stuck carb float in the a.m.
anything else I should be looking at? has this happened to anyone else? and, is there a specific amount of fuel pressure that I should set my B at? (like 1.5 psi for example)
