EScanlon Posted July 22, 2005 Share #2 Posted July 22, 2005 Off the top of my head, it sounds as though your timing advance is not working. On the earlier 240's this was a common problem, the advance mechanism INSIDE the distributor was supported on a thin plastic piece with some ball bearings in it. After time the plastic would dry out and break, and freeze (or almost freeze) the advance mechanism so that it would cause the motor to act as you've mentioned.Hope that helps.Enrique Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/16651-junk-or-fix/#findComment-131500 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Posted July 22, 2005 Share #3 Posted July 22, 2005 My first thought was timing also. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/16651-junk-or-fix/#findComment-131505 Share on other sites More sharing options...
