you set the timing right?

replace all the plugs/plug wires/distcap/rotor button?

my car is doing some pretty crazy stuff, after setting the timing about 4 times and it was dead on everytime, i finally replaced all the wires/plugs, cap and button and it is running fine now.

the timing should be right. i put brand new plugs and wires. it kinda happened all of a sudden, the car was running fine then i turned to the car off and when i turned it back on a few minutes later it was sputtering and hesitating. I dunno????

Put some gas treatment in the tank and put some premium gas in there.
Your gas might be bad cause your car has been sitting for months. I need to come by and check it out.
Good Luck.:goodjob:
