My 72 malibu has been running great. It has the factory 307 2bbl in it. It has been missing a little here and there, usually when its hot, and in the afternoon/evening, and tonight was worse when I was on my way home. I took all the plugs out *(one at a time as to not mess up the wires) cleaned them, re-gapped them, and checked the plug wires. They looked ok except a little swollen about 3-4 inches from the plug. I took the cap off and cleaned the inside, this too looked in good shape as well as the rotor button.
Well, after I did all this, took it for a ride and it was really bad. Just barely giving it any gas it starts sputtering and choking. I almost forgot, but the carb seems to be leaking a little also on the drivers side on the back corner where the seam is. Does anyone have any ideas to what this problem could be? It still has points and condensor, and I am ashamed to say I forget how to set these, it has been years since I did anything with points.
Thanks in advance for your help, I have to have the car to drive to work in the am. It is a 30 mile each way drive.
