Today I checked the grounds from the battery to the engine and to the frame. Wiring is OK. Haven't ran it for very far since the Seafoam...
Thanks for the ideas. I'll check the ground cable. It starts right up but maybe when it is running.....Had a battery that went bad on a Falcon...

Well, it's back to acting up again. I drove around in the hot afternoon with the air conditioner on. It idled a bit rough but did not stall even...
Well, I did the smart thing and had someone else take a fresh look at the problem. For some reason my brother was able to get it fixed. A...
