the rpm goes down "while" the gas is depressed...then
pops back up, then might go down again, etc..I think i
may have solved the problem, was looking around in the
bay last night, and found the hall sender that is
attached to the dist. just hanging off! i could see
how maybe one or more of the wires might be contacting
the distributer itself...so a put a tie wrap on it and
some silicone goo around the base area...no problems
other than weak idle as usual, no bucking this
morning, but it always seems to buck on my way to
lunch, so i'll find out if things are better this
afternoon i think...thanks for all the ideas
