I am having similar issues with a rebuilt trans and lokar setup. Could it be that the throttle pressure doesn't have a return spring (at the trans)? I noticed mine was was not returningcompletely and built a simple bracket to attach a spring to. Have not tested it yet though.

This is exactly what mine drove like when my kickdown linkage was out of adjustment. Adjust it one way or the other and see what happens. Could be a simple fix.

When my kickdown was reset after reinstall I had the same issue. Too far one way it would slam into gear, too far the other way and it would be mush and require some gas to even move.

Who are you calling retarded! Belay my last I meant BTDC.......... 3 Days ago I installed a double timing chain set and set TDC with a Piston stop and the balancer matched up so I'm 99% positive the timing marks are correct. Here's the cam info and thanks for the responses.

So the update is this: New Timing chain, timing tape, and reset everything to TDC. New Rotor, Cap, Plugs New Carb (Mentioned Already) 3rd ignition box Fuel Pressure is still 6.5. Did a wet compression test last night and got 170 +/-7 on all 8. Checked all lash. Fired it up today and still...

Hi Dano, They are MSD Street Fires. I checked them with an ohm meter and they tested ok. I also checked them with the lights off and saw no arcs.

The new Carb has a Metal filter before the pump and a wix before the carb. FP is at 6.5. I have yet to actually drive it with the new carb so I think I spoke to soon when the vacuum went back up to 18 and it went around the cul de sac.

This was supposed to be a turn-key driver but instead turned into rolling restoration (money and time pit). It was a gift from my wife so it's kind of a "gift horse" scenario. I do like working on it though. I've learned a ton of things forcibly by owning this one. I'LL pull the timing...

Thanks Harleydartguy. I already got the throttle and kickdown to replace the rod-type original but appreciate the offer. Just Installed new ECU 4 pin (like the one it's replacing) and no difference.

Thanks for reminding me Gremlin before I get in deeper. I just ordered one and will see in a few days.

anddddd maybe I spoke too soon. It is now back to falling on it's face when put in gear. I have not installed the new lokar kickdown cable so have not been able to go on a real drive yet. Initially after putting the new holley on it went around the col de sac without shuddering and everything...

Nowhere near as wrong as I was lol. Thanks.

Was definitely the carb. Put the Holley on and now getting 20 Vac at idle. Took a short drive around the col de sac and no stumbling. Now I have to get a different kick down linkage and throttle cable. Thanks so much for the input.

This is exactly what I first thought was happening. I've adjusted the idle screw while looking down the primaries and no fuel coming from the mains. It's a real stumper. This carb is bare-metal clean in every little crevice too.

Well this should shed some light. Will report back later....

Tonight I rechecked the volts and grounds to the coil,ecu,starter relay, and VR. Everything tested as it was before this happened. I swapped in another coil too. No chAnge yet. Here is something i forgot to mention earlier and the main reason i pulled and rebuilt the carb. The passenger side...

Thanks for the replies guys. Just checked the Fuel Pressure and it was a steady 6.5 . I will put an extra fuel filter before the pump and recheck it again (great idea) I'm not ruling out something in the carb but when I disassembled it, ran everything through the ultrasonic cleaner, then blew...

Thanks for the replies, they are greatly appreciated. The reason I keep thinking it is a trans problem is because the engine runs fine until put in gear, but now am leaning back towards the engine. No overheating, no missing while idling or revving. I got the gas that is in it now the day...

Hello All, Yesterday while driving I lost 50% of power and experienced a sputtered acceleration-giving it gas from stop it lurches forward then quickly sputtered and "coughed" but still moves. Everything has been running fine for 8 months and this is a daily driver. When I put it in gear...

It worked thanks a bunch!

Thanks guys, I'll give it a go. Was so focused on the star shaped inlet that I didn't even think about a ratchet.

Hi Gang, Anyone know what Star Bit fits the 7 1/4 rear end drain/check plug?
