I did a search but did not see or missed this topic. 2 questions....



Just today, the car (57' bird with 312 Weber 4bbl) started to sputter a bit when I pressed down on gas. Idles smooth, get above 40mph and seems to run fine. Acts like it is missing a bit at about 1500 on the tach and 35mph. Nothing serious like backfiring..{previous problem which turned out to be bent push rods} but the car does lunge a bit.



Tank flushed, fuel filter clean, starts right up. Points at .015. Any ideas what might be causing this? Has to be something simple... Like the 2 cent washer in my last postBigGrin



One other question if you don't mind...



The mechanic who put the Weber carb with with electric choke on may have hooked it up wrong. He has the wire to the choke running to the blue wire running off the resistor heading to the coil. I was told by a couple of people that it should be connected to the ignition wire coming to the resistor instead. Make sense what I am saying?



Appreciate your thoughts as the gremlins continue to baffle me.
