Hi all

I'm new here, signed up recently.

I am struggling with a slight miss on my motor. I am using the original Monojet Rochester carb. TI have also removed the points and condenser and installed the ignitor kit in the distributor.

I have also had the tappets adjusted per the book with the motor off (less messy that way).

People tell me that it seems as though the motor is hunting.

I have had the carb overhauled which fixed a slight hestitation on take off.
At higher speeds it is all good, just when i'm standing in traffic I feel as though the motor will stall.

I really do not know the history of this motor. I bought it with the pickup about 3 years ago and she never ran well. I have not overhauled the motor as she has lots of power on the open road.

I also had the compression tested and it was consistent across all 6 cylinders, around 9.

Please help, no one locally can give me any clues as to what the problem could be.
