Reply to "??? Carburetor Issue ???"

This sounds crazy - but this is what was happening to me when my distributor pin was beginning to shear, retarding the timing.

Something to check on.

You may remember the famous exchange...

... I found this tidbit of information, recorded in an exchange between George Holley and Henry Ford. This discussion was recorded during discussions in Detroit, Michigan, as George Holley was working with Henry Ford to integrate the “new-fangled” Holley Model NH carburetor in Ford’s then-new Model T horseless carriage.

(HF) “George – This carburetor is not adjusted correctly!”

(GH) “Henry – I am telling you for the last time: 90% of Carburetor Problems are Electrical!” (Ref 1)

Reference 1: Conversation between Henry Ford and George Holley, Ford Motor Company, Detroit Michigan, recorded by Thomas Edison, on an “Edison Cylinder Gramophone” on 12 February, 1908.
