Hi guys, my name is Michal, I am new here, thank you for adding me.
I have Fairlane 3.3L station wagon, rusty, not so pretty, but loved.
Previous owner neglected the car, he did zero maintenance and drove car to death.
There was always issue with rough running, but it was drivable.
Lately the car develops issue - it starts right away, it runs ok, but when I stop and car is in gear it run very rough, jumps, sometimes dies. When I step on gas it runs fine....
There's Pertronix ignition, I put new coil, spar plugs, I recently replaced Autolite 1100 with new carburetor (hoping Autolite was the issue) with manual choke. There's leak at exhaust doughnut I will be fixing tomorrow. My friend is great mechanic, knows/works on classic cars, but he doesn't know inline sixes too much, we'll be checking timing tomorrow.
Any ideas? I am starting to be frustrated....
Thank you, Michal
