At my wits end. Rebuilt carb thanks to Bert's. Rebuilt distributer. Mt 29 Phaeton ran beautiful after a careful timing job by the book.5 miles later, it died. The new battery was drained down. Purchased a new 6 volt alternator. charged battery. Idles with a sputter and runs rougher with increase of rpms. It has new plugs, condenser,coil, manifolds. copper manifold and head gaskets. Fuel lines and screens are clean. This A ran great for the first 3 years that Ive owned it. Been down for the last year. Any ideas?
