79 hesitation

DVD,

Good call, I have assumed the carbie is a rochester and will investigate further.
RE the magneto, I'll need to think about what to do with it. I don't think I need a magneto,a dn from what I'm reading a hei would suit my driving. Having said that it spanks along and the car is a huge amount of fun.

Many thanks for your response, I'll move forward slowly, and consider the options.

Cheers

Lefty

Lefty:
Gents,

Many thanks for all of the advice. I took the car to Tim and Allan at the carburetor place at BURWOOD. They were great,me dropped it off at 11. 11.02 Allan advised its the plugs. Too cold and well fouled. A simple fix and they called tonight to advise all well.

Again many thanks for the informationa nd advice. I would have never thought of this simple part providing such a problem.

So you have a Rochester and the magneto is all good for that set up?

Lefty:
Yes, rochester is a Later model than came with the 79 and runs perfectly. The mag works well. Overall advice is if it isn't broken don't change it. New plugs might improve fuel consumption?

They're a very underrated carb, perfect for street use, never had any problems with mine.
