'56 Ford Victoria, automatice with (not sure) 292 or 312. Just went on a 2,000 mile trip ran good the whole time. Home for a week and drove it 30 miles,ran great then all of a sudden it started missing on idle and crusing like it was hitting on only 4 cylinders. New carb kit 4-5 years ago. It has the Holley Teapot. Fuel filters are good. Ignition or carburation??? Inside of cap is dry, all wires in good shape and fit tight. Seems worse when warmed up good but does miss at idle. During the long trip I had one person tell me that every once in a while he would see a puff of smoke from exhaust but that it was not oil smoke more like it was too rich. Any help pointing me in the right direction would be appreciated. As a side note just bought and had installed a new front crossmember...fit great, looks great got it from Goodell Fabrication in Coweta, Ok..918-486-6498. $299 and that included freight to S.E. Ia.
