Re: trouble in paradise


Hi all
I tried to do a "mini tuneup".  I did the timing, idle and points.  On
paper, everything was great: I had the timing at TDC, the RPM between
950-1000, and the dwell at 45.  It took me all day and I'm exhausted,
and the car still runs like crap :^(  Almost no power in reverse,
hesitating at stop lights.  

I really need someone who knows what they're doing to look at this car,
because I haven't a clue---I just don't have enough experience.

Don't know if it matters, but one thing I noticed was that when I was
turning the distributor to set the timing, I got a shock.  Twice.  I
ended up using a heavy work glove.
