BARELY MOVING ON 285
[updated:LAST EDITED ON 28-Jul-02 AT 06:09 AM (EST)]OK. MY 66 HAS A 250 I-6 AND A C4 FROM A 77 MAVERICK WITH THE DURASPARK ELECTRONIC IGNITION. FOR SOME REASON ON SOME OCCASSIONS WHEN I'M DRIVING TO WORK I CAN HAVE THE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR AND I BARELY CAN GET 70 SOMETIMES IT WILL SLOW DOWN TO 5O OR LESS WITHOUT ME EVEN GOING UP A HILL, (JUST DRIVING ON 285 FOR THOSE WHO KNOW WHERE THAT IS). WELL WHEN I PULL OFF FROM A COMPLETE STOP I HAVE TO GRADUALLY PICK UP SPEED, IT WONT JUST TAKE OF FAST EVEN IF I FLOOR IT. WHAT COULD BE THE PROBLEM? COULD IT BE TRANSMISSION PLOBLEMS. I DESPARATELY WONT TO PUT IN A V8 BUT MY 351M/400 IS IN ALABAMA AND IM IN ATLANTA. HOW CAN I MAKE DO WITH THIS I6?

2sixes, Firstly, ditch the "all caps", Caps are used when you want to shout. I think a good running six Cylinder is a fine engine and although in Georgia we pay the lowest gas prices in the country, fuel economy is always a consideration. I would suspect the ignition since the problem is a lack of power and appears intermittently. No way would I swap out a six for an eight to solve a minor problem like this.
