Guys,



Let start by saying I don't drink much. Yesterday after filling my ford with gasohol "10% alcohol" I went to a cruize in.

Seem to run OK, coming home I got into it a little and I notice I was down on power no second gear rubber, pulled sluggish.



Well last night I went to another show and shine. Ran fine going to the show temps in the low 80's. Coming home the car wouldn't idle it would act like it was loading up and die. Down on power some missing that went away at highway speeds.

It would not run in gear at the stops and would not want to pull away unless I revved it and slammed it in gear.



I got it home, the temp outside was high 70's car temp was 180. Now I have been driving this fresh engine for just over 1000 miles this sumer with the same Pertronix system dual quads etc. It has a new fuel pump when the engine was done. No problems until now.



Old age has set in, but I don't remember using gasohol until this week.



Could this be a form of vapor lock? Been a long time since I've driven a car that wasn't fuel injection. I remember as a kid my Dad had a vopor lock on our 55 Ford.



Where do I start????



Thanks

Jim
