Check your ignition leads
Any other ideas for me ?
Replace spark plugs with some new NGK coppers to suit your engine
DC2 or DC5?
Dc2, already dobe ngks a month ago....
Seems to me that the gearbox could be on its way maybe?
Seems to me that I loose power as I drive. .. like a jolt feeling its causing
Most likely ignition related - does it make the missing noise at idle ? Have u checked the spark leads yet - on both the engine and distributor ? Did you put the spark plug leads in the correct location on the dizzy ?Quote:

Everything is corrrct. It feels like when in gear it misses a few horses then continues to go then same thing again... but yes it skips beats in idle where before it wouldn't
Also now it sounds like a back fire coming from unfer the enhine when I change gears
Could be something like a loose gasket on the header collector - when you shift the engine pitches back and forth and opens the exhaust up a little giving this loss of power or missing feeling-
Maybe you hit a speed bump underneath? Just a thought it's free to check it out :0)
Kk ill check this out..
