ok so here's where I'm at. I haven't done everything you guys mention but I've gotten some progress. I haven't touched the carb yet because that is all foreign to me.
Tested the fuel pump. It put out 6.00 psi with engine at idle and jumped to 6.75 when revved. I left the gauge on after I turned car off and it only dropped to 6.00 psi from 6.75 after about 25 minutes. I didn't vacuum test it but I would think what I've done confirms pump is good.
The car doesn't have a fuel filter canister on the bottom of the pump. I changed the inline fuel filter right before the carb 150 miles ago when I bought the car. This is a little plastic looking strainer thing that you can see though a glass canister it is in. It was absolutely filthy with what I'm assuming is debris from the gas tank. I'm wondering if something got by this filter and is plugged up in my carb somewhere ???
Oil does not smell like gas.
Cleaned MSD distributor inside and out and does not appear to have any moisture present. I also tested the MSD box and it is working and producing spark. Do you know how I can test these MSD distributors? Also, I don't think it has any points. Is that possible?
I tested each wire with an ohmmeter and they all came in around 1,000 so my wires are good.
I could only get 4 plugs out as all of the others I'm not able to get out with the tools I have. That motor is sitting so tight in the engine compartment. Unfortunate but I really don't have an option here.
Another note is that when I go wide open throttle it seems to have all the power and takes off like I would expect it to.
So to summarize my questions, how do I test the MSD distributor? Am I correct in saying these MSD distributors don't have points? Any other thoughts after all this info? After this I'm tearing into the carb.
