[DMCForum] Re: Will not rev.



Right now, I'm having a similar problem with my car. As folks here 
will attest, I've been doing a lot of work on my engine but here's 
one thing I haven't gotten to yet that you haven't mentioned doing 
either:

Try cleaning up the ignition distributor. If the timing advance 
weights get gooe'd up from sludgy lube over the years, the bob-
weights won't advance the timing at the higher RPM's and you'll have 
a "power fall-off".

One way you can check, is to put a timing light on the engine and rev 
it up to 2000 RPM's. The timing mark should move completely off the 
scale.

Let us know how it turns out.
