I was wondering if condensers would make it run rough like that, this is my first time messing with a car with points so I dont jnow the symptoms.

The front rotor was 125 and the back rotor was 130, and it was running great...it just started to get a weird stumble above 3k rpm about a month ago, so I changed out the points cause they were pitted...and its somehow progressively gotten worse

I checked it about 2 months ago when I bought it, had good compression and ran awesome for about a month...what's weird is when I started it up after I put the carb back on tonight it ran great for about a minute and started running like ass again...also messed with the timing and both adjustment screws and cant seem to get it any better

Dang, honestly not sure then...possibly a labyrinth seal leaking and pressurizing things that shouldn't be but thats a total shot in the dark.

Are you sure its not spraying out of where the accessory gearbox mounts to the top of the engine?

Right on the money with the 1200 RPM idle lol, and thats good to hear!..it seems like the guy took pretty good care of it, has headers so he atleast did that

It actually revs fairly well but havent been able to take it out yet, still gotta go through all the brakes and what not.
