Hi again all!
My 71 with the 351-C, 2V, has recently started doing something that I would like to get your diagnosis on, or at least your best guess!
If I am coasting down a hill, or just barely accelerating, the car feels like it is struggling to run (chugging exhaust note, vibration, etc). If I am going uphill or just getting on the gas a little bit harder it clears up and runs fine. I should also mention that when the car is running rough the tach is jumping up and down.
Last time it acted similiar to this, it turned out to be the fuel pump. That is going to be my first place to start, but thought I would see if you all had any other ideas just in case the pump doesn't turn out to be the culprit.
Thanks in advance!
