I have a '68 B GT with a '74 engine, twin SU carbs, pretty much all stock. I have finally finished some body and brake work, so I haven't driven it much this summer until today.
I'm getting some power loss in 3rd (a little) and in 4th gear above 3500 RPM or so. I also notice on deceleration some uneven backfire.
One thing I could do is change fuel filters, in case it is starving at hi RPM, but that doesn't explain backfire.
I could connect the timing light and see what the advance looks like through the rev band, but I have only seen timing settings up to about 3000 RPM or so. Does the curve keep advancing?
I have the Lucas points/condenser dizzy.
Whattaya think? Fuel or ignition?
Thanks everyone
