Thanks for the suggestions, massive improvement. Found out there was a gas leak off of injectors 3 & 4. Replaced the fuel line crossing the engine and all hoses (to be on the safe side) as well as adjusted the timing a few degrees so it was spot on, and the point gap as well. Was able to take it on a 20 mile test drive afterwards, seemed to do alright but two more problems were noticed. 1. It backfired twice on decceleration. 2. You can smell exhaust gasses in the cabin after a bit of driving. (Could be due to the exhaust leak between passenger side heat exchanger & muffler) Any further suggestions?
