280 downshift lag/drag/freewheel


Recommended Posts

I've noticed something strange when I downshift my 76 280 recently. When the revs come down to about 2800 rpm, there is less drag on the engine for about 400 rpm, and then the same amount of engine braking re-engages. It does this in 1-3rd, I've never checked to see if it does it in fourth, but I'm pretty sure it will. Is this a ignition issue? I've been having ignition gremlins when it's cold lately. Or is it just normal for the car and I should just ignore it. I've never noticed it in any other car.
