So I 'm driving my Suburban (59 with a 235) after finaly getting the engine running smoothly. Today I'm going up a hill and I notice it start to pop a little from the exhaust and lose power. I had to let off the gas to get it to smooth out but it wouldn't run like it should. After barely making it over this hill and the next I pulled into a parking lot, raised the hood to make sure everything was still hooked up right. No obvious problems.
I played with the spark advance and moved the distributor around and the motor sped up and slowed down a little in response. Seemed OK. I get back in and drive the rest of the 18 miles home and it runs normal.
When it was bad I could only give it so much gas w/o it bogging down. The problem seemed more electrical though.
I don't know.
*****Please note: I have just replaced the plugs, wires, points, cap, rotor, condensor, coil, fuel filter and rebuilt the carb.
