My '28 Sport Coupe has a problem and at the end of the month we're moving 15 miles away to a new place and I don't want to have to trailer it if I can help it. The car will start decent and idle, although not sewing machine smooth. It will go through the gears and do fine for a couple miles and then when it heats up it will lose power, stumble, cut out, and backfire through the exhaust loud enough to wake the dead. Lat night I replaced the condenser, but that didn't help. I have a new coil and points to try next. I know that there are some fine rust particles in the tank, but I have the pencil screen in place. Thoughts? I'm up against the wall here for timing. I also need to make sure my '26 T will make it and my '55 Chevy truck..............
