Hello all
It has been hot here in WV the last few days. I took the fastback out the other day and after the car had been on the interstate about a half hour it started to missing like the fire was beaking down or something. The engine was overhauled stock just a few months back everthing is stock but over the top headers. I had drove the car in cooler weather and no problems at all. Any Ideas
Thanks |

Check to make sure that the timing, valves, spark plugs, points, etc.. are all set up correctly. This is usually overlooked and will make a huge difference in how the car runs when the temperature gets hotter.

Does it have a newer Blue Bosch coil?? They are known to crap out when they get hot. If so, try just putting a stock old black Bosch coil on and try it.

It does have a blue coil. I will try a black one and let you know.
