This problem has me at my witts end. I replaced the whole distributor, distributor cap, rotor, plugs, wires, ignition coil, ballast resistor, and ignition control module. Before hand the car run alright just had a little miss here and there. What happens is it will drive fantastic for about 10 mintues. Then it seems like it is running on four out of the six cylinders and when I take my foot of the pedal it just dies. It has fuel in the filter right before the carb. Has anyone had this happen before? It is a 225 slant six. If you need more info I can provide anything I would know. Please help my registration ends at the end of this month and I'm going crazy with this car.
73 dodge dart wont stay running for longer then 10 mintues.

sounds like its flooding, how is the restart after it dies? quick or long crank?

Something is wrong with your carburator. It probably runs as long as the choke is engaged an then dies. By your description I would say it runs way to lean, that is why it will run as long as the choke is engaged.

hmm good thinking! when my float was a little high it was fine driving but you let off and it would start coming out the booster and die. if it would start it was terrible idle and smoke lol.
I tore the carb apart and the float was stuck and I also noticed there was some stainage from the gas over flowing out of my carb and on to the intake. I can't believe I didn't notice that. Thank you guys again!
