did that everything worked fine until the weekend of the photo shoot.
on the way back i could only acellerate slowly but could drive at 60 mph
and would miss badly under load or trying to go uphill
tried different carb, thought it might be the problem.
New Spark plugs rotor,cap and wires did not help.
took off cap and rotor and re-installed them and problem went away for
a few days. I think the rotor is migrating towards the top of the cap.
cause when i removed cap i seemed to be able to push down on the rotor
and now runs fine.
I will see how it runs on Sunday when i drive to Seattle...

Seems to work fine but for some reason the rotor seems to migrate upwards...
