Came back from Iraq on r&r. The car drove likesh-t. Was sluggish andthe engine would rev when I push thegas. It would drive but not as it did before. I always put the high octane gas in it. My Dad put the mid grade in. What could the problem? Is it the gas? It has been sitting for 4 months with driving of it once a week. I want my power back. This is pissing me off. Oh , I have a 4 speed muncie if it helps.

 

could be water in gas is it stored inside or out

 

It has been stored in the garage. Going stop by advance auto and add an additive to the gas, and run the gas out the system and fill her up with the high octane. Thanks bro.

 

yes try that that should do it if not repost could be gunk in carb

 

oh i forgot to tell u thanks for servin our country i just got out 2 five year tours army

 

plugs might need to be changed from runnin nasty gas

 

Going to add additive to the fuel to rid of the water, change plugs, change fuel filter, and clean up the carb a bit. I will let you know whats up when I get this done. Thanks!

 

could be the carb dried out and one of the jetts is plugged up. do you run points or electronic ignition?

I have msd ignition. I changed the plugs and cleaned up the carb, and it still does the same.The engine doesn't run like sh-t, its just not transferring it to the wheels.The engine has power and I really don't think it had water in the gas. The engine runs fine. Its just that the power is not delivered to the wheels. I called three different transmission places and talked with my good friend along with my Father. They all said it might be the clutch, flywheel and things in that area. I said f-ck it and dropped it off at Cottmans transmission this morning. Nothing to get mad about anymore, f-ck it, its an old car and with age you have to replace items at some point in time.

 

Picking up the Beast this evening from Cottmans transmission. Come to find out I needed a new clutch. So they ordered a new clutch kit for it . It will be $500 with everything.Thats with labor and the kit.I thought it was going to be in the range of $1000 or more.
