Lady72nRob71 - I have tried all that you mentioned. I think most of the information on what I have changed out is in this thread but this is getting kind'a long so you may have to back track quite a bit to find it.
NEW: points, plugs, plug wires, condenser, distributor cap, coil, fuel pump, gas line from fuel pump to carberator (stainless steel), fuel filter, battery, exhaust system ( changed from single to dual, plugged cross over).
Starter cranks fast and hard...not a starter problem.
Car runs fine on the open road. Lots of get up and go. No coughs or sputters.
I have not driven this car much over the winter. The few times that I did drive it, it started fine in all conditions.
I can appreciate the comments of the poster that said that "guessing at a fix has the tendency to confuse the issue", but I want to assure you all that I have approached this systimatically and I did use the OEM shop manual and its troubleshooting charts, but it did not fix anything.
My gas line does not have much of an arch to it, as I remember. Fairly flat accross the front of the engine until it drops down to the fuel pump. I did have a rubber hose I used as a stop gap to get it running initially. I destroyed the original fuel line, when I tried to remove it, because it was froze to the filter canister at the carburator. As I recall that rubber hose did have an arch to it and I had the same problem I still have now.
I'll see how it works when it gets warmer around here. That souldn't be too long now. Last thing I did was put a new coil on it.
