I think I will start looking for the exhaust leak. I have noticed exhaust coming out of the engine.
I have not been able to run the car for very long. PO has retrofitted a over sized alternator and since the distributor has been rotated the alt gets in the way of the advance/retard.
Soon as I take care of that Ill be able to isolate the problem. Matter of fact I am looking at that alternator mentioned earlier in this thread.
