Unhappy She's down for the count.....till tomorrow I guess

Car has been loading up and sputtering on the take off for the past few weeks. This week has been worse, it'll cut off if you get in to it too much. Now it's in the garage, won't crank & smells flooded.....geez. Looks like a rebuild coming up.

Sticky or misadjusted float? Good luck.

Found 2 seperate problems......#1 and the reason it died was the main power wire to the ignition had come loose. #2 was the bottom clamp that holds the distributor cap was loose, so the cap had rotated, throwing off the timing......that explains why it's been running rough for a while.
