>In warm weather it started easily. Dry weather, in the high 30s to low
>40s it will start without needing a choke. It takes a while to warm up
>enough to rev properly. high rev causes it to miss and break up.

>After warming up and idling slightly fast, it suddenly stalls. It needs
>fuel to restart it but it starts easily.

>While driving It spits and misses badly when under full throttle. Not
>too badly if not trying full to accelerations.

>It feels like the valves are bad. I have not done a compression test
>yet. What is acceptable pressure ???

>Points, condenser, rotor, plugs, wires & coil all have been replaced
