odd hesitation/jerking .... I'm confused.

[Khyron]

Well. I've noticed a new issue, and not quite sure what to check.

When my Charger is up to speed, and I let go of the gas, everything is smooth. however. if I keep my foot on the gas just slightly. as if to maintain speed. the car jerks.

so to sum up. on acceleration the car is fine. Coasting the car is fine. Light pedal. and she jerks. anyone seen this before?

Possable kick down isn't set right?
trannie going? ideas?

Does it feel like a ignition miss and/or do you smell any fuel?

probabaly in the total timing setting , try either removing the vacuum advance hose or stick an allen screw into the vacuum pot & turn the screw in there 5 or more  turns counterclockwise

I have the same story going on.
I suppose when I change to electronic ignition things will be much better.I hope.
Do you run the elect. ignition?

I was trying to listen to the engine, but it was kinda hard. I didn't notice the RPM gauge jumping. I don't smell any fuel. But then again. the windows were down and I was going pretty good.

It has been swapped over to electric ignition. the nice little MSD with the orange box. I'll have to double check the timeing. I was dinking with it. so it's a possibe I screwed it up

I sux at the timing

My car did something similar to that...turned out to be really cranky timing.

the screw is inside the vacuum pot , stick a small allen wrench inside the hose nipple

I feel something in there. I'll adjust as you said and give it a run soon.
