413 just don't getup'n go no mo

["jsadowski" <jsadowski@xxxxxxx>]

I've had that problem & it turned out to be the distributor cap. Another time on a 66, A piece of the muffler broke off inside & was blocking the flow. If your car has been sitting, it may have fuel problems as someone suggested. Change the fuel filter.

Are you sure that your fuel supply is fresh and clean?
