well changing one part was the idea but everytime i thought i had it figured out i replaced the problem or so i thought it would run good for a little while and then it would start doing it again, when it first started acting up the first thihng i did was put in the new coil and spark plugs it ran good for about 2 days, then i replaced the battery cables ran good for about a day, then the distributor ran good about 2 days, then the fuel pump good for about 2 days, then rebuilt the carb that helped for about 2 days too, the time it works is why it confuses me, either way i was wanting to do a total tuneup on this thing, replacing a bunch of the parts and get it ready for some off roading
