right now, currently as soon as I hit 2000-2500 rpms it’s flat, sputters, I upshift, and it repeats. Haven’t taken it on the freeway. Before this...
Hey mike, getting a little too used to me around here lately, aren’t ya’;) I got a new insulator block for the old stock dizzy, even got a new vac...

The old one was a floppy, and the vacuum advance canister had ruptured, so I figured if I’m going to go through the trouble of pulling the dizzy,...
