[AT] Coil test?

[Mike Sloane]

All I keep seeing on this thread is that "it has to be either a fuel 
delivery or coil problem". Nobody seems willing to allow for either a 
bad condenser or vacuum leak. In my experience, a vacuum leak, created 
by a slightly warped carburetor or manifold getting hot, would create 
the same problem. I don't see how a bad coil would be overcome by 
closing the choke; it never has for me when I have had bad coils.
