<VV> ENGINE MISS/LOSS OF POWER

[Andy Clark]

More specifically: INSIDE the distributor cap. Even if you can't see any
moisture, clean it out with a non-lint rag anyway.

I WOULD LOOK AT THE DISTRIBUTOR CAP FOR MOISTURE 1ST.

This is in regards to my 64 Monza 110 4spd daily driver and Here is my
quandry.

Over the weekend, I washed the inside of the engione comartment with
soap/water.  I then removed the carbs, fuel pump, top cover, shoud,  and
alt/gen adapter.  I cleaned all of them in the parts washer.  I have an
oil leak somewhere under the top shroud.

I replaced both gaskets on the top cover and the o-ring on the vent
tube.  I cleaned off the outside of the carbs (as they were greasy),
cleaned everything up, and put it back together.  drove it home 10 miles
with no problems.

When I drive it the next time, I am getting an excelleration miss.  Let
me describe it.  The car seems to idle just fine.  the engine seems to
rev just fine in neutral.  When I start out, if I push down normally on
the gas pedal, it coughs and sputters but will accelerate a bit.  If I
just barely push down, it doesn't cough.

what should I check and in what order?

Thanks
