I had the Galaxie out over the holiday; it loves the clear cool air. The exhaust note was strong, not missing a beat and the throttle response was real crisp. I took it out again Sunday and it ran the same way, cruising between 2500-3100 with a few wasteful displays of acceleration (out in the country BTY).
Then I started to notice small spits & pops in the exhaust note but I didnt feel anything different, know what I mean? I was about 10 miles from home by then so I aborted the ride and turned around. I got the revs back up around 3K and it sounded like it was started to break up although again I didnt feel it.
It seemed happy at 2100 (did't miss a lick) which is about 40 mph so I limped it back home. By the time I got it home it was not crisp at all, in fact it acted like a cylinder was almost out. I cant work on it till Thursday, 1st thing is look at the plugs. It wasnt puking any smoke and I didnt feel any loss of power so I dont think its fuel related. From the sounds of it Im thinking ignition, which consists of a new MSD Pro Billet distributor, a 13 year old (10K+ mile) MSD 6AL and equally old Blaster II Coil. Does this sound like an MSD box going poo poo? As always, thanks for you imput. ww
