Thanks for the advice. I tried leaning out the idle mix a bit and went for a cruise and it was terrible. Stalling and hard starting. Ugh....
Tinkering with this today. Feeling like the pump may need rebuilt again. Can you tell me if the Carter glass filter bowls should be kept full by...
I did buy a UniSyn... so I do plan to do some more investigating. Have not tried anything else yet.
At the very beginning I am just idling along and I give it fuel, not even stomping on it, just a pretty normal acceleration and it cuts out almost...
Had the car out today... not sure if this video will help. Next time I'll get one from under the hood, just working the linkage. [MEDIA]
I think I have the mix screws set to 1 1/2 turns out. So, it should be leaner... I like the puddling idea, but this doesn't seem to support that...
Ordered a UniSyn today. Regarding the vacuum advance, I said "port vacuum", but I think it is technically venturi vacuum when taken from the...

This was one of my leading suspicions... until I had the dist reconditioned and the mech/vac advance both checked vs RPM on a distributor machine.
Bog or miss? I'd say bog. It doesn't get rough... just a total cut out. '57 392 twin carb setups DID switch to progressive linkage (rear carb...
Gene-Koning: Forced down accel plunger. And it seems to run great at WOT, it's just falls flat on its face for a second or two right at tip-in....
Wow... lots of good thoughts. I don't think it's air... and the mech pump is keeping the carb bowls full... so it's not fuel pressure. I built...
Hello all, Looking for opinions on a relentless cut-out when applying throttle to a stock 354 Hemi. It has been doing this for years.. I have...
Looks like it was the ballast resistor after all. Once it heated up to a certain point, its voltage output to the coil became unstable and the...
You called it: 300B ;) So... thanks for the advice with diagnosing carburation. Ultimately, I believe I had multiple compounding issues. I did...
I just serviced the two WCFBs on a 354 hemi... now the engine starts and runs smooth, especially at a fast idle, but once it warms up it starts to...
