Hi Ive also had this problem
it got a little better by advancing the timing a few degrees. I mostly get it at idle at a stop light or something. sorta strange but have never been able to nail
the cause. could be an advancement issue from the vacuum advance can. If i had a new dist or could have one bench tested to check to see if it is up to
snuff that would be great. Does anyone know a place to bench test them??
