I had the car running great took it for a drive and parked it, then the following morning it wouldn't stay running without pumpage and wouldn't idle.
The gas was 1 1/2 years old when I bought the car but hey it still burned and ran, thought maybe it was the bad gas so I drained it and cleaned it out and ran high test though the lines till it was clear.
But nope still will not stay running, I also replaced the carb with a 2150 that was rebuilt....sti ll the same thing, tried a ranger 1bbl carb and still the same thing
The only thing I changed in the car where the spark plugs, it had the stock autolite plugs that were still good but I changed them for a set of NGK iridium plugs
Could it be the plugs,gap,coil or ?
When I ran the autolites they had a slight tan on them, now with the NGKs they are black and dusty coal looking
What is the proper gap for 2.3L plugs?
Also when I had the intake off I noticed a lot of carbon build up on the block ports
There where also no vacuum leaks I checked with propane
Should the block ventilation plug be plugged into the carb all the time because I plugged the port just for trialing the issue at the moment
