Haven't checked but the idiot light works. Also the battery is always charged and it starts no problem. I usually run my lights but wouldn't the battery show weakness if that were the case? Funny, when I do any driving or acceleration I don't feel a misfire, just that cyclical vibration I've...

Intermittent and above idle. Carter 4 barrel original.

I've had the distributor apart and everything looks great, just checked the wires and plugs, compression is 100psi across the board, carb is rebuilt, looked closely at the distributor cap and it looks new, but still has an erratic miss at cruise or still at 15-2k rpm. Only other clue is the...

I checked all of them and most are 2 feet long and measure 8.5-9.5k ohms on the 20k scale ohm meter. Longer ones at 2'7" are around 10.15-10.70k ohms. Does this sound correct? Thanks!!

Do they deteriorate over time even not used? These are on my 57 Belvedere. What's the official resistance per foot for 7mm Prestosil Class E suppression cable?

No, nothing happens at idle when I remove it. Only above idle does the timing advance more when I reconnect it.

It's ported at the base of the carb. I know this because I hooked the vacuum gauge to it and only shows vacuum at higher rpm's.

My first thought would be to remove a bleeder completely and see if it's partially restricted. Also look in the hole too. The crud and corrosion is the clue.

Thanks CBODY. The problem is more in the 2k rpm and above and the dwell was off about 2 degrees at about 33 degrees. I adjusted it to 30 degrees at idle and it moved to 23 degrees at 2k rpm or above. The advance seems to be working as it drops about half of the advance timing off when...

I've determined it's the engine at around 3k rpm when car isn't moving. I can feel it misfiriing at about that rpm and creates a repetitive vibration. Could carburation cause this or the distributor? It's at cruise and not hard acceleration.

Sorry, those are the two high #'s 110 psi. the rest are 100 psi.

2 similar cylinders are #4 and #7. After reading my old posts you sent me (thank you), I need to wait another 500 miles or more to check compression again.

Yes, I think about 60 pounds heavier.... Thanks 57, I posted a new thread to find out. People are anxious to mention what they think, but I want to see from actual owners of the 301 to find out. I've got a 68 GTO 400 engine with a cam and the psi #'s are 120 a cylinder and it goes like a bat...

Mine are pretty even at 100 psi.

Unknown, I bought everything with the rebuilt engine out. I can see the original cam and pistons have not been replaced, but it's so clean inside (it had to have been boiled out and totally taken apart) that I figure they did what any reasonable person would do and that would be to spec it and...
