The car ran out of fuel and air was sucked into the lines. I filled the tank with new fuel and ran a hose from the electronic pump into a canister. It took a few minutes to clear the air pockets.
Next, the car would not start. I checked the timing, wires and plugs and everything looked good. After several hours of frustration, I found the engine was not getting spark.
If you remember from an earlier post, the cap on the Pertronix 3 ignition had a problem. It took 3 months to order a new one, so I purchased and installed an Accuspark unit. I put the Pertronix 3 back into the car and it started right away.
After about an hour of fettling, balancing the carbs and adjusting the timing, the engine is running beautifully.
My plan is to drive the car for a few days and then tackle some of the smaller jobs.
