'84 running rough!

I have about 2000 miles on new plugs, wires, cap, rotor. Just replaced the Coolant Temp Sensor and the fuel filter. When idling, it sounds like it has a miss....little more fuel....more pronounced the miss. If I tap the pedal to give it a little "umf"....it dies.
I have been starting it up and letting it run about once a week. (Darned winters) Most of these symtoms have just started. Car has 59,000 miles on it.

Plugged cat maybe?
Bad fuel pump?

Any suggestions would be grateful!

Thanks

Check the fuel pump....then let us know your actual fuel pressure....

....yeah. The 84 fuel pumps are crap.

Buy an 85+ pump from a internet dealer and then you can check this out.

Well, it ended up being the timing. Was off about 6 degrees. The Bosch plugs I had in it had fouled out as well, so after new plugs, she runs & breathes again!

....well then.


you could always replace the pump as well.
