Ok, its not the fuel. I drained all of the old fuel, and put some fresh stuff in there. Problem is still there. Then, out of nowhere the car decides its just going to crank and crank, but not start. Great. Checked the coil, there is power to the coil, but no spark coming from the coil wire. So I replaced the coil and wire with new ones. Nope, still wont start.

Just put a new set of points in it.
Doesn't matter if they look good. When I still ran points in my TA, every year I'd have to put a new set in, even though I just ran it once a year. Went to a Unilite and never looked back.

Misfire and occasional carb backfire
Your condenser has failed.

Still chasing this issue. Extreme frustration is setting in. New coil, condenser, points, plugs, wires, timing, cleaned carb, still runs like ****. It feels more like its running on 7 cylinders from 2k rpm up to 4k rather than a misfire. From Idle up to 2k rpm the car seems to run great, but once it passes 2k rpm it feels like it starts running on 7 cyl's. I could floor the throttle under no load and it wont climb past 4k rpm, feels like its running on 7 cylinders, and will randomly backfire from the carb, but not very often. Tried 67ramair4's idea to pull the wires off one at a time, and the car ran the same regardless which wire was pulled off, regardless of RPM as well, there was no difference in the way the car ran when each wire was pulled.
Does this maybe sound like a fuel issue? Vac advance? The carb was rebuilt before it sat the distributor is brand new.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
