Hello everyone! Just wanted to update all who gave me advice about our coupe running poorly. I must have timed that car 10 times! I finally replaced 2 condensers and then replaced the points. New plugs and set the gap on the rotor/distributor It was the points and condenser that made the difference! The points Didnt look bad to me but I had a new set and was running out of steam. If I had to guess it was the condenser!!!! The aggravation
Was worth it when I saw the wife zip by the house with a big smile on her face just a waving and sounding the horn multiple times on her test spin! Now to jump online and order spare parts for the next time! Thank you all so much I’m still learning about these cars and all your advice is much appreciated!
