more info:
pulled 5 of 8 plugs (ran out of time, had to go to work)...and they were black with some brown...not the tan everyone talks about. Cleaned them up, checked the gap (Keith put them at 40)...they all were the same. wires look good. One was not seated well on the plug. Got it on, and the idle got much better, but the hestitation/stutter on acceleration is still there and maybe worse. The situation feels like it is getting progressively worse when driving the car. The one thing that I notice...when I am just parked in the drive way changing RPM without any load on the car, it does not hesitate one bit. no gurgle, burp, stutter...nothing. Put it in first or second and cruise down the neighborhood, it sputters all over the place, and then when I nail it now, it really sputters...
Whadda think? Carb, ignition, vacuum leak? I know this one is gonna take a while. BTW, what are the torque specs for plugs....dang, I am having a time getting them out. They really cranked them in there, and I am not sure some are gonna come out...
BTW...EDIT: When Keith came to Tulsa and I was having a brain fart with the choke, he took the carbs off and we found the jets were I think 36s.....what does that tell us?
EDIT #2: well that does not sound right on the jet size does it. Once again, the brain has farted....can't remember. I do remember it was on the small side per Keith. Keith, do you remember? Any suggestions?
