[DML] Re: Took car out on first drive in 1 1/2 years, not without problems, though

["David Teitelbaum" <jtrealty@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Check the base timing, the mechanical advance and the vacuum advance
to be sure they are all working and close to the specs in the Workshop
Manual. You could also have a plugged up fuel filter causing fuel
starvation. Since you are not running an O2 sensor I would just jump
the WOT micro so it goes rich in open loop. Not great but better than
nothing.
