Thanks for the suggestion, James/Ernie,
I checked with the outfit that rebuilt the distributor yesterday and fellow said he checks and renews the condenser. I got a condenser at NAPA yesterday for an Autolight IGT distributor and installed it last night. I did the bench test with a multimeter on the one I took out and it was functioning. W e'll see if that makes a difference.

My workload really increased this week and last week was filled with wrapping up the latest issue of the Oregon Clipper which is at the printer's (Petrosino). The prom is the 19th. That isn't moving.

I may drop the tank and slosh it out just to be sure nothing is floating around in there and plugging up the outlet when the car is inclined. (I did try jacking up the front of the car while it was running, but it didn't make a difference. Perhaps not enough of an incline.

We're going to bypass the fuel line apparatus today and check the filter that's integrated into the opening of the carb.
