Hello all,
Just to follow up from a couple weeks ago, thanks to everyones helpful suggestions and info, the distributor wire problem got solved, and the car starts up fine now, so on to the next problem:
For about the last year, during those rare moments on the road between breakdowns (the car, not me), my car has been having a problem with idling smoothly when the engine gets to around 190 degrees. When the temp warms up, the car will not idle smoothly - kind of sputters along - have to keep hitting the gas to keep it going (very ungraceful and uncool when taking off from a stop light). Also, after turning the engine off and the temp rises to about 190, when the engine is re-started, have to keep gunning the accelerator to get it going, but once it's been on the road and the temp comes down, starts running fine again.
Is this a carburetor adjustment problem, or could it have something to do with the gas formulation, or an attack of the Healey gremlins, or what??
