well i know when it happens there is a strong gas smell but it is an edelbrock 4 barrel. i will check the distributor to see whats up there. i know when the car is running the amp meter is bouncing around 12 to 14 so i think it is good. assuming that the stock amp meter is accurate. is it possible for gas to boil in and edelbrock with out the car over heating? i thought that because of the gas smell that it might just be getting really flooded but maybe it is boiling.
