I think this was already mentioned, but I'll add to check to make sure your mechanical advance mechanism is moving freely.

Sounds like an ignition problem rather than fuel.  I suggest you re-check the points to ensure the gap is correct and then re-set the timing.  If the points are worn/not set correctly, the symptoms you describe can occur when the engine is under load (ie. hard acceleration or climbing hills). If it has a vacuum advance, check the hose to the distributor.

>Hey all!  The other day I went to a local restaurant about 5 miles from home, car running well. After dining, left to return home and when the car started it had a noticeable skip and  now does not want to take the gas.  It starts right up but bucks and hesitates when trying to go.  If you stay giving it the gas she runs but poorly.  I removed the plugs and they all looked good.   Cleaned and regapped them.  Checked all the wires for spark, ckecked points, injectors, cap, all look good.  Changed fuel filter as well even though not dirty.  Tried some fuel injection cleaner but spray is equal and full on all injectors.  Full tank of fresh gas as well. Any guesses as to why she will not run properly.  Just came on instantly, no warning.  Thanks! Doug '73 FI Fastback
