Please help me
I have a 1969 for 2 years now and I went to the city 2 weeks ago and it was parked. On my return the car started and only ran for 2/3 seconds. I then continued and I was lucky to be at a meet and a mate got me running by flooring the accelerator each time the car ran for longer before stopping again. It ran like fuel starving. On the day it got going and ran perfect. Ever since the same problem. The car has been perfect up until then. I have tried the following.
Replace fuel pump
Checked fuel supply
Checked points, condenser, ciol, plugleads
I can get the car going as it did on the day trouble began, during this the car coughs and backfires but will start after a long while.
Please let me know what I can do next.
