  1. I know people have probably asked a similar question but it's easier if I explain exactly what the car is doing to get an appropriate solution. I've been having ignition problems for a while, it ended up the two wires inside the distributor had a bare spot and were grounding out. Took them apart and reconnected the wires and shrink wrapped them. That fixed the problem for a bit. Also since I bought the car it's been running rich, I know how to adjust it and all but once I adjusted the su carbs fuel it sounded good at idle but when I went for a drive it ran well for 10 minutes and started to bog and once it went back to normal it would spit out of the carb and backfire. Did that while I tried to get the car back home. Is the car just lean? It would spit then run fine for a minute and do it again. It was doing the same thing in the spring but it was because my timing was off, and if it was my timing again it wouldn't idle very well. When I stop the car at a light it idles fine and first gear pulls fine but once I shift it starts doing it again. Is this a timing/ignition issue or a mixture issue, does anyone know the factory set point for the fuel adjustment on the bottom of the su carbs? I apologize if this is on here already but I can't find a similar post. I'm not interested in arguing with someone I just want to solve the problem Thanks
