I'm back. Been a while so the old bird decided it was time to act up. Been trouble shooting but have not come to any conclusions.



Get the car started and head out for a drive runs fine

Exit off the highway and it begins to sputter a bit

Come to a stop and smells of gas and is idling rough

Press on gas and seems to smooth out

Back onto highway and still has some hesitation as I can see the tach bounce a bit

Get it home and shut it off for a while

Start back up, will run fine

Been doing this same pattern for 2-3 weeks now

____________

Weber carb has been rebuilt (yea we talked about this..it is a Weber)

Fuel tank was boiled and lines flushed in May

Points/distributor rebuilt

New plugs

____________

Thought it might be bad fuel but if that was the case, how come it only does it after you have been driving a while and let off the gas?



Any thoughts?



Also, this is different from the last post I had about it missing which was a was the distributor wire touching the side of the distributor.



Appreciate your help
