The cars hadn't run for 5-6 years before last Sunday. I had the gas tank boiled and replaced all the rubber. I do notice that the ignition key is sticky and plan to replace the locks with MSA's kit. The run on is definitely NOT smooth. It's almost like a belated mechanical sneeze coming from the engine. Thanks for all the replies... Oh the gas is low grade (87) Unleaded - no additives but plan on adding something to compensate for the Lead I think it requires. And recommendations for lead additives?

Any idea what would cause the engine to keep running after it is turned off? It finally quits. Seems to be worse if the car sits at idle for a while and then the key is turned off vs turning it off immediately after driving it for any length of time. I just got the carbs professionaly rebuilt and tuned on the car. Timing is factory set. Points, plugs, wires, condensor, cap, rotor are all new. Dwell set to factory spec's. All factory ignition parts used.

Thanks for the message OK. Dan. I was apparently the next high bidder. I advised that I would drive out and take a peek. The seller advised that it would have to be shipped - no peeky peeky. He said he had a buyer that was going to pay 9600 cash and he was tired of the hassles fyi: This is the seller's info he provided me... Wierd in that his Ebay site says his name is Honest Larry??? http://members.ebay.com/ebaymotors/aboutme/dakope/ Ken Crump 1275 Gonzales Road Simi Valley, Ca. 93063 805 522-2110
