Yes it did run great before I worked on it two years ago. At that time it had two mushroomed lifters and flatened lobes on the cam shaft.I've installed a new fuel system,ignition box, and many other things. same Mallory distrib and coil wires..Just added a new HyFireVI box and a filter. Noow you think ignition is suspect.Other things that worked just fine with the old adminastration have gave up shortly after the reinstallation.
I have what I would have considered an improvement in the fuel system .A Berry Grant adjustable fuel log with pressure set at 4.5 psi.
It started fouling plugs when restarted after the engine rebuild .It ideled great during warm ups, cam breakin but when I would actually take it ot for a drive it would foul the plugs.It was fouling plugs before I had the carbs redone by Quick Fuel Technology.Before it had #68 jets all the way around but drueled gas and fumed when the engine was off. I blamed the carbs .They looked old and burnt. Now they have #68 jets primaries nd #74 jets in the secondaries, and 4.5 power valves. No fumeing or gas drueling now .Carbs are dry now. I'm starting to suspect the ignition now. I don't want to start throwing money at that and time is getting to be presscious.
