well for starters, I had to take it somewhere. aparently I had the firing order wrong (which I disagreed with, because he based his claim on the way he aimed the dis.) I was getting too many backfires out of the carb. It starts. It barely drives. i took it home because I didnt like the shop. So I get it home I find the vacuum line off the advance just hanging. manage to get it on (tight fit with the manifold) and it still runs. the problem is now it falls flat on its face at very slight throttle. it will only DRIVE (it holds idle fine) if I keep tapping pedal in what seems to be clearing out the vacuum and then gas it hard and it drives fine. I cannot make heads or tails of this sh*tty distributor. car ran fine just a little hot before the swap.
no clue what to try at this point. carb has gas at the bottom of the threads from the bowl sight at all times. im stumped and annoyed! any advice or someone that has seen this would be gratefully accepted.
