Well, I went driving on nice, level back roads to see what I could learn about my apparent problem. This is what I can determine. Whenever I get near the shift range for the 2nd/3rd transition, my engine power will start to fade in and out, but the rpm's still rise. Sometimes this fading is accompanied by a small "popping" noise, but usually not. This fading -never- occurs during the 1st/2nd transition, even if I run it at the same rpm; only when going from 2nd into 3rd gear. It also doesn't happen if I only accelerate at about 1/2 throttle or less. The last thing I can tell is that it only occurs when I am running at least 3/4 throttle. If I ease off the throttle a little bit when it starts lunging, the transmission shifts and everything is groovy. So- those are the symptoms I'm getting. Can anyone help me, maybe tell me what to check next? I checked fuel filters, their clear. I don't have a vacuum advance on my distributor, so it's not a vac problem. I'm stumped. > Speaking of new generators, does anyone care to take > the core of the old one off my hands? >Didn't the rebuilder want the old core? If not, where >are you located? No, actually, they didn't. I'm in Clemson, SC. -Kurt '71 AT Square, "Tyria" __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
