Really bad problem 66 coupe

RE: Really bad problem 66 coupe
pretty sure the points were the problem. I had the exact same thing happen to me. The points were adjusted, but there is the plate in the distri that is moved by the vacuum advance. This came loose at some stage. I bolted the thing down with 2 screws. That fixed it. Then I got a new distributor ... the problemdescription on my side was the exact same.

RE: Really bad problem 66 coupe
I had this problem in my 78 F100. I had to keep it in high rpms to keep it going and wasn't a smooth running engine it was real jumpy. You should check your plugs along with checking your points. 2 of my plugs went bad while driving (dont know how but its fine now) and it was all screwed up. The timing was off and only 2 cylinders on one side were firing. Try checking/replacing the plugs.
