2 months ago I bought a 1965 Mustang Coupe with a '69 351W that has been worked. First I want to say that I'm mechanically inclined when I know what I'm looking at and what I need to do but until then I'm clueless. And this is the first carburetor vehicle I've ever owned. I've put about 150 miles on this car and has run good until now. Last weekend it started "bucking" slightly while at a steady cruising speed. It has gradually gotten worse over the past week to the point now where the car is barely driveable. It will start and idle perfectly, but as soon as you drive it, it is very rough. So it didn't start all at once but gradually got worse. It has a Holley 670 Street Avenger carb and an MSD Ignition.
Any suggestions on how I proceed? I hate to just start replacing plugs, wires, distributor, carb adjustments, etc. if there are tests I can try first. I did notice that this started after the first time I drove it in the rain but I would think that would have dried by now or it at least would get better with time if that is the cause. Probably coincidence.
