We are the proud soon to be owners of a 73 Painted Desert. We are super excited to be part of the GMC family and these forums are actually one of the main reasons we decided to seriously look at the GMCs. (That, and come one... these things are awesome!)
Having a small issue right now with the engine consistently hesitates when it hits 40 MPH and won't go any faster. It's uncanny how consistent it happens right at that speed. The current owner is having his mechanic take a look at the issue and at first diagnosed it as bad fuel lines. (the pump and filter were replaced last year) Fuel lines were just replaced (in addition to a rogue Fuel Filter the current owner's Grandfather snuck in there) and this offered a small improvement but definitely isn't fixed yet.
It's back at the mechanic now and he said "the issue may lie in a mid-stream sending or metering unit" (not sure what that is)...
Appreciate any guidance you guys can offer a coupla newbies to the GMC world.
Thanks!
