So I have re3place the electronics in the distributor and reset everything to TDC. Starts up right away and sounds real good. Once I rev it up it sounds good for just a bit, then i get a backfire and what I feel is is a bogging down of the rpm's and it dies. Last time I backed it out of garage, i could not drive it back in as it seemed to bogged one I went from idle to higher rpm's. At this point I am thinking the advance mechanism or magnets/springs? are not working. As far as timing, i think I am idling at about 10 degress past.
If it is the advance mechanism, is their a way to repair?
