Default Another Show For The Merc

Drove the Merc to it's first car show and shine of the year yesterday. Ambient temp of 70 or so and it ran good except at certain throttle setting in the mid range. No lack of power or response at higher throttle settings but if I wanted to cruise steady at 50 mph it was steadily stumbling and running rough. Stopped in the next town for a rest and inspection. The rest of the way home it ran much better even though I did nothing more than make sure the wires in the dist. cap were pushed in tight. I came home with "best beater" award. Some video of it on the road here.
