Hack and sputter
I started my engine for the first time today and it runs great untill I pull it past 2000 rpm's. Thats when it starts hacking and sputtering. I thought it might be timing but that is correct so I am at a loss.

Cool! I’ll check that out. I was also told that it could be a sticky vacuum advance not advancing as I accelerate. Is this true?
ALSO, could it be a bad block to body ground? I used the old grounding strap that was in very poor condition.
Ill check out all these issues tomorrow. But, if you could still correct me on my other theories.
Thanks for all the info Doc.

Check to make sure you have the right spark plugs and that they are gaped right and check the distributor also check to make sure your plug wires are pluged in all the way but i would lean to your plugs at this point

I am showing 11.8 V out the main coil to cap wire. The bat is showing 12.6 V. What amount of Volts should I be showing through the coil to cap wire.
I also checked the coil pos feed wire and its showing 10.5V. Is that a problem. Not sure what I am looking for.
Thanks for any info

No, It is coming from the ECU. The Distributor is electric. Not Points. 1976. The + on the coil comes from the ECU through a ballast resistor to the + coil. I also have a swich in the car for the main power feed to the + coil.
thanks
thanks
