My engine is driving rough out of the blue. Acceleration is jittery, a lot of vibrations at low rpm, engine noise is different. Is this what happens when carbs need adjustment ? If not any idea as to what is cooking?
Thanks,

Did you check your idle jets?
How about your plug wires? All tight?
Either one would cause rough running. Like it's running on less than four cylinders.
'cause it probably is.
Thanks Terry - i have to admit that this is beyond me - seems like i will have to take it to the shop ! It looks like it won't fix itself
Car is back from shop; work done was spark plugs, oil filter and timing

Fouled or old plugs would make sense. Plugs are $12 and take maybe 1.5 hours to replace. Fairly early to DIY - just need few tools and some anti-seize. Assume oil change accompanied new oil filter (FYI an oil filter was not OEM on T1 engines - an oil screen is though). Hopefully they did valve adjustment before doing the timing. Valve adjustment are best done every 3k miles - again an easy DIY job.
