Hi guys , bought this beauty last weekend!
305 V8 62,000 original miles. No rust, and completely stock. Was shipped over in September MOTed then has just sat.

It's running, but runs rough, pops and feels like it sometimes doesn't want to rev not sure what it could be but the guy I brought it from said he thought was it was the airpump.

Yeah, that looks OK, pity it's not running right though. Where are you? Maybe someone can help you find the problem and sort it out.
Cheers, Martin

Has it been here long?
I'd still have the top plate off the dizzy to check the springs are working.I happened to me,mine would collapse at anything over 65.

Timing?

Foul fuel?

Supermarket fuel?
