altezzaclub Posted January 8, 2011 Report Posted January 8, 2011 I will chuck on twin SU's I have or maybe just one. Ooooh.. chuck on both, they give years of entertainment, frustration and problem-solving exercises... and they run with more grunt than the Asian and less fuel on a trip! Quote

I'm sensing sarcasm, though its hard to tell on the internet. Quote
emptycoffin Posted January 8, 2011 Report Posted January 8, 2011 (edited) Not that rough on cold start, though it doesn't get cold up here. after a freeway run it is very rough. Tightened manifold bolts and changed points and it has stopped stalling, though it is running very rough. New leads next, if that doesn't fix it then I will chuck on twin SU's I have or maybe just one. I changed my leads, didn't do much other than a bit of a power kick, still runs rough. I know of a guaranteed fix, it goes by the name of 5K. Hoping my diff, trans and motor will hold up for another 6 months or so (Can't imagine it not) But yeah, it is right strange. Edit: Have you tried turning the radio up? Edited January 8, 2011 by emptycoffin Quote
TRD ke70 Posted January 8, 2011 Report Posted January 8, 2011 Do a compression test, start with the basic's, if you have good compression, move on to the next thing. Does it run rough at hi-speeds, or is it only when it's idling? Point gap should be 14-16 thou= 49 - 54 degrees, not 46!! Quote

Will do asap. runs perfect at high speeds/rpm, just a little rough low down. tightened the rear manifold bolt today and it made it much better. Gets me thinking it is a vacuum issue, I just took a stab at the number, it is set to how the Gregory's manual states. Quote
Twinky Posted January 9, 2011 Report Posted January 9, 2011 If you are tightening bolts and it is running better than take the manifolds off, clean them up and put on fresh gaskets + gasket silicon. Quote
