OK, I'm a little "dumb" on F.I., so, I need some advice. This just started on my trip back from the Nationals. My 75 Sportwagon is a stock motor'd 75 F.I. save for the Pertronix ignition. I'm getting a hesitation or skip in the lower rpm's or if on power (like moderately accelerating). I first thought one of the plugs may be fouled. I have new plugs, but, I cleaned the old ones, just to see if that was the problem. No real difference. I have been told that even though Opel injectors do work, they're not the greatest design, so, outside of replacing/cleaning the injectors, I'm at a loss for what's causing this, other then something else in the ignition system. It's not a bad skip, but, it does make one uneasy. Any ideas?
