Hi Malcolm,

I forgot to mention that I changed the fuel filter
early today.  My distributor cap and rotor are
new (no points).  My plug wires are new (Bosch).

I had to go to the store a few minutes ago,
walked outside and realized that my GL, now
cannibalized, will not run.  So, I was a bit
peeved and got in Billy, started him up, kept
the rpms up, and went down the road.  Even at
55 mph at a steady pace, it began to load up.

When it began to load up, I could "punch through
it" and sort of clear it out.  I made it to the
store and back, but when I let it idle in the
driveway, it began to load up again.

I'm stumped.

Thanks,

Warren
