Hello everyone. I have been using this site for years for help with my cruisers and it has helped me immensly...TY.
I finally registered today because my 76 has left me scratching my head. Four years ago I started this project and I took everything apart, oh yeah I might as well do this....and this....and this. After repacing the wiring harness with a painless kit (BTW anything but painless) and probably just about everything else electrical I finally got it running. Now I can get it to idle fine but when I hit the gas it bogs right down, nearly stalling and then comes back to idle. The PO installed a holley two barrel and it ran fine before I converted the dist to a DUI set up. I think maybe its an advance problem because i have tried every degree of rotation for timing. Ive got plenty of vaccuum pressure from the carb and the centrif. advance seems to work....when I apply vaccuum to the dist the linkage moves but it dosnt seem to have an effect on the rotor. Should it? Im lost here any input would be helpful.
