Located 45 minutes north of Detroit

For sale or trade...

$13,000 or trade for straight 8 car

Very presentable 2 door, had the car running most of the summer.

The needs...
Trans is acting up, was re-built early in the summer, might need adjusting?
Speedo needle fell off, glass cracked, might tackle this in the next couple weeks.


Car has older repaint with some imperfections, not horrible.
trim has dings and dents, its driver quality.

Please message me with any questions, thank you for looking!

One little tiny piece of (carbon?) material that sits in the valley of the rotor came loose and was sitting in the bottom of the distributor. Local O'reilly's had a Standard brand that worked fine. Carb dialed in and car runs fantastic

Thank you for the response, since I don't own a vacuum gauge or timing light, I was looking for some easy inspection areas before taking it to a mechanic and paying them for a possible simple fix.

Thank you! I kind of checked some of the lines, but wasn't sure about the oil pump line. The line closest to the firewall that goes to the reservoir seems ok. I'll go over the lines tonight

fuel delivery? Ignition?

Issues have been driving me bonkers!

Just put my rebuilt Rochester 4GC carb back on, car runs rough at high idle.
Its starts, idles fine, can take it around town up to about 35mph, and more acceleration, it bogs down...

I'm thinking there's various solutions, was hoping the carb was the issue. I did mess with the high idle screw and regular idle screw the day the car went to crap, it ran fine for about 20 miles.

Could there be a vacuum leak? what are the usual suspect places to check?
Is it ignition? wouldn't that affect starting and idle?

It seemed that if I mess with the high idle screw, it got a little better, is there a sweet spot? As of now, the car isn't kicking down to low idle because the screws are out of whack.

Any help is very appreciated!

Excellent,
I used Master about 15 yrs ago, didn't know they were still there.
I'll keep an eye out for your car around town. I'll be in a 56 400

Let me know what you find out...
I'm in Romeo and have leaks in the radiator,
I've used superior in Mt Clemens, but they always try to push an aluminum one first.
