- Willys Year:
Just purchased a 1959 Willys PU - Superhurricane Flat six.
It starts right up and idles perfectly ... but when when the accelator is pressed down or goes under load when driving it starts to loose power.
Almost like the carb is straving for fuel or the air - fuel mixture goes south?
Also have noticed something strange about the distributor? Is it normal for the distributor to wobble a bit back and forth?? It does not rotate just wobbles a bit from side to side :shock:
Have not yet replaced the spark plugs or the points / condensor or the spark plug wires or rebuilt the carb.
Want to get past the wobbley distributor first.
Any advice?
What about going to a solid state distributor?
Thanks
