Re: '29's Engine is a bit "sputtery" - timing maybe?

Good Morning...You might want to travel to see the car yourself and drive it for ah hour or so. Cars that have been sitting often have old oil and sometimes even old gas in them and they will not run well that way. Radiators often need to be flushed and the engines as well...many stories of the museum cars that ran a few miles and then began to show the problems caused by the non/very little use...Ernie in Arizona

Assuming the issue isn't old/ethanol gas, I'd first check the timing/points gap, then the advance mechanism in the distributor (I take it that 29's had an automatic centrifugal weight advance) which might not be advancing as it should be, then carburetor issues such as running too lean or improper fuel float level/excessive pressure in the line.
