Classic/Antique Car Repair: 69 Dodge Dart Engine, dodge dart, lull

Question
Hi there,

I own a '69 Dodge Dart custom with an automatic 318 V8. For the past little while, I've been noticing a bit of a lull from when I push down the gas, and when the car really starts going. The engine sounds like it's doing alot of work, but I'm not seeing many results from it. It never used to be like this...any suggestion of what could be the cause to my lack of power? I'm a student driving it back and forth from home to university and so on...any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
Graham

Answer
how many miles are on it? take it easy as when you own a classic like that it does need some work from time to time tune up -major tune up or it is possible she is getting a little bit tired ? it could be a lot of things but i would say give her a treat with a full tune up and check the valves adj. and timing. this should help if not it has somthing a bit more serious ok
