Hi all. Working on my '74 GTV 2000. It has a Marelliplex electronic ignition, cap and rotor in good shape, new plugs and wires. Spica car. It unfortunately has started to idle a bit rough, and sometimes dies after revs until it is at operating temp. It also has a lag (and sometimes a shudder) between when the throttle is pushed and when the engine revs. Timing looks ok with a light, but I cant really reach the distributor release bolt to adjust it, or I would play with advance... It also runs pretty rich.
All that said, it runs well (I think it could be better, but dont really have any Alfisti friends out here in the Bay Area, so no frame of reference either), and once it is at speed it really purrs.
One other note: I just installed a Centerline Stinger rear exhaust. It does backfire occasionally...
Thoughts?
Thanks!
