[DML] Re: HELP ME

["David Teitelbaum" <jtrealty@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I would check the mechanical advance AND the vacuum advance. It is
pretty simple to do with a timing light. It sounds like one, the
other, or both are not coming on like they should. Before using the
light a visual inspection of all the vacuum hoses for correct routing
and damage should be done. I have seen on more than a few cars the
mechanical advance was stuck. You have to dissasemble it and clean and
lubricate it. A vacuum leak from an old, cracked hose will cause the
vacuum advance to malfunction. Old, hard, leaking injector seals can
also give these symptoms. Backfiring during deceleration can be caused
by the decel valves not opening. They are the little spring-loaded
things on the throttle plates. Check to see if they are stuck.
