    I can't see the carb changing sitting in my father's garage. Well, you never know with that FORD two barrel on there; I did flush out the gas. He started and ran it about once a month for the life of the car and one day it just ran like shit. However, with the spark being put off on all eight new plugs, it would barely run my lawn mower. It fires like the coil is going bad but its not, and the system is fully charged. alternator charging, etc. If it wasn't firing at all, it would be a lot easier to track down the problem. I was hoping somebody had the oh yeah, I had this...no such luck.
