Hi all, car is running lovely now I've covered 1100 miles since full engine rebuild, fresh oil & filter & 500pcs and at 1k miles I fitted new cam, as funds were available. So yes all running smoothly but as of late when driving along and say I change down to 4th from 5th gear to go up hill for example, it'll 'stutter' for want of a better word, almost like some is pulling coil lead off & back on extremely fast then it's ok!, incidentally the coil lead going into the cap did have minor surface 'dust rust' on it which cleaned off fine but still doing the same, very frustrating. The timing is currently set to -8°,any less as in -4 to -6°BDC then its really bad, have fitted an electronic ignition kit, new leads , new coil/ disty cap ect. carbs all rebuilt.
Could it be moisture in the fuel ? Pump is an engine bay 'sucker' electronic Huco & works really well. Its only recently started to do this which is the odd thing, could it be timing perhaps ? Heads & block were skimmed, am running composite head gaskets. A real head scratcher as I think its something simple I hope!
