Mexican made is better than China but not as good as Made in USA.

Hey Chipper, that was it !! I put in a new set of points and condenser and it fired right up. I must have got a bad set before. Agin, thanks TO ALL for the help, Joe.

Glad to have helped. Learned over the years that the problem with spark is rarely the coil. Points, then condenser lead the list.

OK, here I go agin. Everything was running fine up to now. Now it surges and misses when I sit at the light or just start out from one. Out on the highway,it seems to run ok. This is on a 68 chevy Impala 307 2 barrel. Any help on this will be appreciated. Thanks, Joe.

Based on my experience with 60s and 70s Chevy carburetors, the Rochester two-barrel has several annoying problems unless clean and exactly adjusted. Hesitation, inconsistent idle, surging are three of them. They also typically get lower gas mileage than the four-barrel.

Hey Chipper, thanks for the info. I'll have to get some carb. cleaner, and try to adj. the idle mixture screws. What would you suggest, turn an a half or two on those, or when it sounds right? Thanks, Joe.
