UPDATE* UPDATE * UPDATE Dies only while turning right....
FINALLY figured out what was wrong with the ole Vette. This afternoon, I gapped and replaced all the spark plugs (the old ones were beyond hope), installed a new HEI MSD Distributor Cap, ignition coil and rotor. When I removed the old cap, at least ¼ cup of black carbon powder came out.so I imagined it was arcing like crazy inside the cap.
After all that, I fired her up and she came to life! After she warmed up, I slowly went down the driveway, turned right and SHE JUST KEPT GOING LIKE NORMAL! Drove down the street, no misses, no hesitations, just beautiful music of a 350/300hp (with Flowmasters Series 40 Exhaust) purring like a kitten. So, I went WOT (wide open throttle) and it threw me back in the seat and ran “like a bat outta hell!” I’ve been driving her around ALL afternoon and she loves it!!! Left turns…right turns…WOT’s…. EVERYTHING IS OK!!! Can’t figure out why it was dying before, when I turned only right…GOT ME STUMPED BUT SHE’S WORKING GREAT NOW!!! https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.cor...a1e0f504fb.jpg |

Awesome - thanks for the update. Always good to hear the end of the story! Sounds like you had a lot of crap in the distributor.
