Hi All, I wanted to take a moment and thank everyone for all the help over the last few months. We drive the 1964 300K down from our little house in Winters, CA (which has the garage with a lift) down to our San Francisco residence. The car ran
fine. The only real issue is the PO put on an exhaust system that is so loud it is annoying. I need to either order a new system or find a good shop in Northern California that can-do first-class work. The one important outstanding problem is that at idle the engine is rough. At first, I thought it was the carburetor. I swapped that out for newish Edelbrock and it did not change. I swapped out the Prestolite for a later orange box dizzy
and it did not change. I put new wires on it and it did not change. Running out of ideas. One thought I have is that I am using NGK plugs that are on the cold side (#7). I am going to swap in some #5 plugs which are hotter and see what I get. Again, thanks all and over the next week we shall see if I can get it to settle down for city driving. On the freeway it hummed along. This will be the first week in 22 years that we have not relied on the 1947 Desoto.
