Hi everyone,
I just bought a 1973 124 special sedan. I have had a couple of issues that I could use some help with.
At low rpm the timing is super in consistent. When I used a timing light the timing mark jumps around. At high rpms the timing mark on the crank pulley stays advances and is consistent.
The engine has also been dying at stops and after I give it a lot of throttle.
Yesterday, I drove the car around and the and it was idling at like 3,000 rpms, but then after a 5 -10 minutes it went back to low idle speed and was really rough.
The car feels pretty good at speed, but it won't idle right and dies at stops.
Also how hard is it to switch to electronic ignition?
Any advice you have to fix this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Sean
