My 31 Slant Sedan my daily driver put about 7000 miles a year on her being "Retired" do not drive much anymore. But I do depend on the car and keep her in top driving condition.

Two months ago my coil failed and replaced with the Petronix "Epoxy Filled" coil and the car seemed to "Come Alive" again! then about a week later I was experiencing a fuel starving situation so I removed the Carburetor cleaned "Not Real Dirty" and re-installed, she ran very well till the engine reached operating temperature then same problem really lack of power.

Next, I pulled the distributor to check the points which were fine, and replaced the condenser "Have Original Type Distributor" reinstalled and timed, now after this the car ran the BEST she ever has!

Now fast forward two weeks and she started to lose her "Pep" checked fuel all okay but she felt like electrical issue, so I pulled the distributor and replaced the condenser once again, this was the problem! If anyone is experiencing poor performance and you are running the original type of distribution suggest you replace the coil
