[DeTomaso] Dead In The Water

[Art Stephens]

     The carb is what I believe to be the original or a rebuilt?  Plenty of 
fuel in the tank,  doesn't feel like a fuel problem to me,  (I've been wrong 
before).  :-))  Is there an ignition module with the stock ignition?  Cap 
and rotor are only a few months old.

Thanks,
Art
