Someone once said that most fuel problems are electric and most electric problems are fuel. Never the less, go back to the basics and make sure the three, combustion, electric and fuel are all up to spec, in that order.

That said a small amount of diesel fuel did cure the vapor locking problem I was having with a 47 Custom.

Also, the distributor vacuum chamber (advance) is often a problem with a poor running engine. Make sure it will hold vacuum and the mechanism actually moves to advance and retard the timing.

Happy New Year!
