[Fleetwood472]

For you guys that have problems with your 425's stalling on you or hesitating when they are cold I used to have the same problem with my 78 Fleetwood. The carb was rebuilt the engine was fine and I changed the plugs wires, cap, and rotor and it still ran like that. Well I finally found the problem and its very simple to fix. What was happening was my advance weights in my distributer were slightly rusted so when they were cold they would sort of stick together and the car would run like shit for like 5 minutes when it was cold. To fix this you pull the cap off of the distributer then remove the 2 bolts that hold on the rotor and you can see the advance weights first I cleaned them off with WD40 then I oiled them and pulled outward and saw if they would spring back if they would spring back I would repeat the process till they did. Then I put everything back together and the car ran like a champ. Hope this post isnt too old and you guys see this. - Justin
