[QUOTE=anthonyc1026]Hello everyone, i am new to this forum.

i have been trying to slowly restore a 1970 300 sel 3.5.

i had this car for the past 9 years, finally i have a little time to work on the mechanical side of it. i just put a new set of trigger points in it. it idles quite smoothly now.

however, when i step on the throttle for a little of the travel and hold it, it misfires and vibrates quite a bit. but when i continure to step on the throttle, it smooths out a little.

i have put new wire set, points, cap and rotors, and plugs in it.
timing is at 2 degree +, i have not checked the dwell, but i have move the gap back and forth to get it to idel smoothly.


well, working on this car takes more the twiddling with the points.
a good basic knowledge of how the fuel inj system and ignition system
work would be a big first step.

get yer dwell to to 32 deg. timing about 5 deg btdc. get yer c.o. adjusted.
but to get to yer complaint it most likely is yer throttle switch.
yer whole system needs to be checked by someone who knows those cars.
good luck,

george
