OK dumbass here my 66 520 odometer reads 94xxx,stock carb, points,runs ok at cold start idling anyway, then you have rev it up a bit to get rolling, but if you let off the throttle to stop or slow down it dies and is a bitch to start again.this is lots of fun in freeway traffic. oh yeah if you hit the brakes hard it dives to the left. did i mention this is lots of fun in freeway rushhour traffic at 60+ mph???
but when trying to then start it will pop out the pipes- so it must have some spark and fuel-maybe not in the right time or amount, but some.
it has an inline fuel filter that never seemed to have much fuel in it,replaced stock pump with electric fuel pump, still not much fuel , moved filter from between tank and pump to between pump and carb....... filter now full still has issues.
timing was off... way off... adjusting did not help replaced timing chain assembly timing on now but still has isssues
after the chain replacment adjusted the timing, carb runs ok at idle
drove to work today 60+mph even slowing down to change lanes it seems to have a hard time getting back to speed, and then i had to stop on the freeway and it died and would not start right away , popped and farted almost sounded flooded,it started but would not rev up but stutterd and popped then a few more seconds of running and it would smooth out.
it also died when i was exiting the freeway on the offramp; then at the stop sign in front of the state patrol; pulling into the parking lot and then tryiong to park
ok what the hell is it???????? :unsure: :wacko: after driving it home and it doing the same thing i wanted to shoot it and leave it for the vultures. but it would have been a long walk home.
some body help
