That gas IS really too old, winter's not too bad on it, but summer heat is BAD! I would just dump it or mix it with some fresh in a driver.

When is the last time you checked the plugs? You might want to just check each for condition to see if there are any differences cylinder to cylinder.

WS27, I did a full tune up at the same time I rebuilt the carb. All gaps, points and plugs, are correct. I started a new post under modernize your Coronet talking about dropping either a new 5.7 or 6.1 Hemi in it and I decided that's the route I'm gonna go. I will probably still tinker with it and see if I can get it running decent enough to hit a few local shows this year but I will be tearing it down in the next few months to get it prepped for the new engine. Check out my other post because I'm having you all vote on which engine I will drop in it. I like both motors so I'm game for either.
