I'm lookin for advice on things to check out when I start troubleshooting this beastie. Don't want to overlook anything and then feel like an idiot later.
Driving out to my girlfriend's earlier my car decided to start running bad.
Didn't want to run except at about half throttle or more, under load. If I took my foot off the pedal it would shut off, at lights revving it wasn't enough, it would still try to cut out, keeping it in drive (auto trans) and braking with my foot on the gas did better.
The drive is about fifteen miles. By the time I got to her house it had fouled plugs, I think, and was no longer hitting on all six.
Ford 250 inline 6, points, Carter 1 barrel. Mechanically all still stock to the '72 Mav it was yanked from.
Not wanting to interrupt our dinner plans I left the car there and plan on fooling with t tomorrow. I'm hoping its something simple, crud in the carb maybe? I just had to swap fuel filters due to clogging. And to make it more fun I have a brand new tattoo on my hand. At least it's my left and I'm a righty, lol.
