[QUOTE="CMOS, post: 432047, member: 15462"] My mistake mentioning the points - that was on my 1966. I just tried a few things on the 82. I think I may have a fuel pump problem. I noted that the fuel filter showed no signs of fuel. Primed it again to fill the filter. Started up at low idle again but recovered completely within 15 seconds. Back to the smooth idle. Another minute and the idle speed dropped again. Fuel filter looks empty. Re-primed and advanced the throttle, a short while later and I'm back to a good idle. It seems like a fuel delivery issue, agreed? I did a rebuild of this fuel pump. It's possible I didn't do something exactly right. - ? I may need to buy a new fuel pump. Sinking fast - I am supposed to have this motor. She's been one Hell of a teacher. I'll get her running. Wouldn't you? Thoughts? CMOS [/QUOTE]
