Weirder and weirder. Got a strange problem with my '67 V4. Sometimes I start it and it runs fine. Other times, it runs very badly.
Symptoms: cold start <30 degrees, car runs rough, spitting and refusing to accelerate normally. Have to nurse it to gain any speed. Stumbles badly at higher RPM, missing out and bogging completely if I floor it. Poor running continues even after warmed up. Next cold start <30 degrees, runs normally. It does occasionally miss out, but runs pretty well overall. One thing - running at 70+ mph when it is running well, it does seem to miss more often.
Weber 32/36 DGEV (electric choke), MSS exhaust, 1.7L, 5,000 miles on complete rebuild, pinto fuel pump, stock points/condenser.
Could a valve be sticking? Intermittent fuel starving? Flaky coil? Indian burial ground?
