Thanks for all of the suggestions.

Rick,
I went through and cleaned all of the connections..Checked the grounds and cleaned them. Checked the distributor connections and cleaned them too. My blaster coil is mounted in front of the engine ( driver side) in a vertical position. Checked and cleaned the spark plug connections to the msd wires. I also sprayed the carb with some carb cleaner.

As for the distributor it's a bit out of my league. I fully understand the function behind it but I don't have enough knowledge to tinker with it. Once I rule out the other possible solutions then I will have to take it to a garage. I have a great mechanic here that deals with hotrods. He's done all of the major work on my car. Maybe it's time to replace the distributor due to the fact I don't know how new or old it is..

Gary and Dwight,
Should I add some staybil to the gas and fill it up..I figured the Lucus oil gas additive I put in it would of helped with the water or ethanol while the car sat.


Hersh,
It didn't smell any different than usual. The one thing I noticed was that it only backfired from the driver side.

Jim,

I will try the plugs too..I will check for condensation..I'll check the floats..

I have quite a bit to do....might be a bit before I update you guys..stay tuned..

Thanks again guys,

I'll keep you updated on what I find out.

Lee
