Thx Tom, yes I replaced the entire distributor
with cap and wires and plugs. I'm considering jumping off a bridge. (and taking
the car with me)

Did you say you had replaced the entire distributor, shaft and
all, or just the cap and wires and points? I had similar symptoms on a
71 LTD and it turned out to be worn springs and weights in the distributor
that left it "floating" too much. Under load, it was "pushed" up against
the stops and ran smooth. I thought I saw an earlier post about this
where you said the timing light image was not steady; this would further
suggest something loose in the distributor. --Tom 63 Custom

replaced the coil this afternoon because it appeared to be seeping oil. To
no avail, no real difference except it seems to idle terrible but cruise
smoothly. The next "only" thing left would be water in the gas tank.
This car sat for a year at a time before it was run briefly for a period
of several years. Would this be a likelyhood? Thx, Chris
