The 350 motor has a miss, i have replaced cap, rotor, wires, plugs
points, condenser, coil, checked compression have 150 to 160 and still have miss. Does anyone have any other ideas. Please let me know. Thanks

 

Have you checked for a vacuum leak.

 

It would be helpful if we had a little more info on when the miss occurs. Idle? During acceleration? Highway cruising? What RPM, what load?

 

no but i will check , i don't hear any vacuum leak. Thanks

 

the miss is all the time, but gets worse as it warms up. The car ran
good when i stored it before winter. Then i got it out and had the miss, from idle to acc.

 

How old is the gas and did you put StaBil in it when you parked the car for the winter. Could you have water in your gas?

 

yes i used stabil and i filled the tank. I've done the same thing for
the 8 years i've owned the car, but this is the first time i've had this problem. I have even ran a tank of fuel through it.

 

Welcome to our site! Hope the guys can help you figure out the problem.

 

Perhaps a stuck valve from sitting?

 

As noted above I'd check the vacuum lines. Been there & done that before, let's us know what you find.

 

makes me think it would be a carb thing then. when does it miss?

 

i did have the carb rebuilt last year.

 

this is what i'm going to look into, very good possibility.

 

Seems like it would be hard to get 150-160 reading on the compression with a stuck valve. This one is going to be interesting.

 

i agree but this is what i'm dealing with, i will try to keep everyone
up to date as i get a chance to work on.

 

Could a broken valve spring cause a miss

 

we would need more info about the miss and how it developed to help, it was before all the new items right? if not maybe the points arnt right, wire not right,ect.

 

to vague for me to help.........

 

Merged two threads from newbie forum and moved here. Good luck and welcome to CO.

 

Last time I broke a valve spring. It also bent the push rod and cracked the rocker arm. It was very hard to start.

 

I found the problem, the wire coming through the dist. From points was arching causing the mis. Thanks for all your guy's help
