hey im lookin at a 1985 monte carlo ss. hte car is in good shape. it needs a trans whch is fine. the car also spuders and is not smooth when accelrating. i believe its the distributer. and other ideas. its a 350 auto.

 

check the carb(maybe have it rebuilt) and check all the fuel lines and filters

then plugs and wires (easy stuff to do first)

 

Go simpler. Think fuel filter, spark plugs, plug wires, and check the timing.

Start the car, pop the hood and manually rev the carb. Check the distributer cap as well on the inside and look for any foreign materials.

 

foreign materials? what like bamboo, sand, crude oil! stone henge perhaps? just playin yeah hunt down the usual suspects. my guess would be timing and fuel. but spark could be a prob or contributing factor

 

isn't that what i said??? only i said check carb too lol

 

yo...carb was just rebuilt. plugs and wires just changed. idle is a little low. but clean and smooth....i have ta check timing and see if the cam is good. i belive itseither timing....distributer or cams......im not sure. anyone got any ideas
