<VV> 2nd test run

[Doug Mackintosh]

Check your distributor cap for carbon tracks, and check the condition of your plug wires. You may have some cross-firing under hard acceleration (increases the cylinder pressure and hence firing voltage) which would make it buck and backfire.

<<Second test run. Drove the car on the highway for a total of about 25 
miles. It's still surging and backfiring under hard acceleration. I'm 
able to maintain a steady speed, but letting up slightly on the gas, or 
trying to maintain speed with the pedal results in a bucking, or 
surging. More like bucking. The valves and lifters, I think, are slowly 
working in.>>
