Stock 302 V8, Auto tranny, points, everything was running fine idling smooth until the other day when the Bronco would die when you idled. It progressively got worse during a few hours of running it until it would barely run at all. Start it up and it sounds like it lopes as if it has a huge cam in it. Its stock though. It idles very irratic. I had put new spark plugs in it a week before it did this and it was really smooth. I checked yesterday..and # 2 plug had backed out and was real loose. Hard to tighten because of the headers. I figured that was my prob. Tightened it up and its still rough. Looked at the plug and it looks good. Started it and let it run about 1 min irratically. Felt all of the plug wire caps that fit over the plugs and this # 2 wire was hot. None of the others are even warm yet. Does this mean anything? Let me know your thoughts and what else to check. Points gap and points are new and look good. No sign of vacuum leaks. Timing is set. Liike i said. I started to notice it a bit and then progressively got worse . Humm?
