Well she's running.... just. I sat down in her and had a talk to her (yes I know I'm odd) She wouldn't start last night after a lot of standing there scratching our heads we decided to changed the points and then she started. She idels wonderfully now and is a lot quieter but when we took her for a drive she jumps all over the place like she's mis firing. We think it's got something to do with the timing because we adjusted the distributor and sometimes she drove worse and other times she drove better. There was quite a few impressive back fires.
Any suggestions would be great.
Thanks for the support draven. I've been through so much with that car from 4 foot long flames out the exhaust, to a broken axle, clutch cylinders getting leaks to just not wanting to start (or stop). Most people would have given up on it by now and mum keeps telling me to take her to the wreckers but I couldn't do that.
SupraBoy, I'm going to be getting one of my car's painted hopefully within the next year. I'm going to prep it all myself and then get a friend to spray it for me for a bottle of beam. So hopefully that will eliminate being stuffed around.
