    change the plugs wires and rotors Saturday and that fixed the rough idle probably could have just changed the cap because the contacts had some corrosion on them started it last night when to got off of work and the temperature was negtive five and it purred like a kitten Thanks for everybody's input

    I may have a similar issue on my 1983 Ram 50 Sport 2WD 2.6L G54B engine auto trans California emissions.
    It sat in the garage unattended for a while. I emptied the fuel tank, replaced fuel filter, old fuel was orange color, put new fuel w/ fuel cleaner.
    Likely more issues with carb, contacts, cap, rotors. Denso spark plugs look ok, compression 135/135/140/130 cylinders 1-4, wires look ok.

    Suspecting that a carb rebuild is in order, the old fuel most likely messed it up. I have one NOS MITSUBISHI-MOPAR-1981-86 SOLEX 32-35DIDTA 2BBL Carburetor Kit, concerned that it might be previous to E85 fuels & not having being made for them.
    More suggestions on what to look for ?
