    I've got a 76 ford maverick. It will start but its not having power, also its sputtering. It has brand new spark plugs so i know its not that. Anyone with any clue at all please let me know as soon as anyone possibly can.

    Have you checked the timing? How old is your fuel filter and the gas in the tank? Check vacuum lines.

    well i checked my plugs and made sure they were gapped right. I also ended up buying a new pvc valve. The other one was so gross and clogged so yea. Now it seems to be fine again xD

    When you replaced the plugs, did you pull one at a time and replace or all at once? Got the right wires on the right plugs? I've done that before. - Matt
