New Galaxie owner, first post. Listed below is the issue.
1963 4 dr Galaxie/ 289 2 brl carb/ 3 speed cruise omatic.
This is what happened.
- It was driving and starting great for two weeks
- Engine missed a few times while driving yesterday (It's never done it before)
- Stopped at the store
- Was sputtering more often on the way home (five miles)
- Could barely get it in the driveway it was sputtering so bad
What I did
- Checked all electrical connections
- Checked for spark on all plugs
- Removed the hose into the fuel pump and stuck it in a gas can
- Placed the hose directly from the carb to the gas can and gravity fed it
Nothing changed, running like s*%t still
What I am going to do next
- Replace points with pertronix system
- Check timing
Any suggestions on what it could be or what I should check would be greatly appreciated.
