From: Bryan Castles [mailto:bc@version3studios.com] NEW INFO: Well, it doesn't cut out at any specific range, but it seems to do it when the throttle is held in position... Not so much when it is being pressed down for acceleration. When it cuts out it's literally like the ignition cuts out. It smokes a bit then when it cuts back in, there is a big puff of smoke and it cleans right up. That makes me think that I am missing spark and the smoke is unburned fuel. I couldn't get a good idea of what color the smoke was... It was dark when I drove it home. I hope to get a little direction from this, and really dive into the system tomorrow. At least now it is at home, and I can spend some time on it. Thoughts on most likely place to start? Trigger points on this distributor too? Bryan Castles Bryan, I know you said you already checked your grounds but when you say you have smoke is it black smoke? I had a similar issue before and it was a bad injector ground, the one on the right side that hids under the manifold intake tubes. It attaches to one of the sheet metal screws that attach the tin to the head. Check your grounds again.
