This is the only 302 I have owned. I know they are low torque engines, but I am not referring to driving response. I am talking about sitting in the garage at idle in neutral. I have read articles from back in the day where some magazine article author was comparing the throttle response of the 302 with that of the hemi engines of the era, and was impressed that the 302 was comparable to the hemi in responsiveness. I guess I am not sure what they were referring to, but I cannot imagine it would have been torque.
The ignition system may perhaps have an issue at full operating temp such as the coil, I don't believe that is the problem however as there are no other symptoms to speak of. And when I say "problem" or "symptom", I am probably overstating it because the car drives out just fine. I just wonder if I am leaving something on the table because a throttle blip gets lazy at warm temps. I just cannot believe it should have to be that way. I know cars run better in cooler weather, but this seems more significant than that. Maybe I should post a couple of vids to better explain what I am talking about.
