been having a problem w/ the longroof for a few weeks now, done a bunch of stuff.... still not running the way it should
at speed, mostly at 60+ mph, get a miss for a split second, sometimes sounds like a carb backfire. Like I'm loosing spark for a split second and then back to normal....
run it at least 50 miles per day. sometimes it will only happen once, other times it will do it 3 times in one mile... If I stay on it, probably would do it more, been driving slowly lately....runs pretty good at lower speeds...
so far... pulled the cap, it was thrashed, so I put a new cap and rotor on it. when I pulled the rotor off, saw that the mechanical weights were are thrashed and out of whack (one of the studs that holds them on was broken off and they were all worn bad). So swapped that distributor out for another one I had. (the one I pulled out had about 30k on it, 2yr old rebuilt unit) so I swapped the other one in, put a new set of weights/springs on it, still seemed off, so I pulled it out and reinstalled it to make sure I had it in the right spot.
Seemed to run good, ran it on the freeway, same thing, way better around town, but still a backfire at speed. Fixing the advance weights for sure fixed it low end....
put new spark plugs in also.... and a K&N filter.....
next changed the timing.... had it set at 5-6 degrees advanced, bumped it to 10 degrees.... manual says 6 degrees for 74, 10 for 75, then 6 for 76?
seemed to help again low end, but still get the miss as 60+ mph....???
