I have a slant 6 in my 71 demon. It hadn't been running in probably 16 years when i got it and wouldn't start. Anyways after a new starter, new dist cap, spark plugs, wires, battery and radiator hoses, the thing tried carnking over with no sounds of knocking/griniding/ ugly stuff. It wasn't getting gas to the carb, so i replaced the fuel pump and rebuilt the carb. Now keep in mind this is my first rebuild, and it took a few tries to get it back together, but i am really confident i have it set up right. HOlding the choke open and giving it a bit of gas it spays like it should. anyways, whithout the vaccum advance hooked up it spits and dies at me. My air cleaner had the advance hoses hooked to it, (Holley 1920 BTW) i ended up having to take the hoses off the air cleaner and run one directly from the carb to the advance thing mounted on the engine. from what i can tell it gets vaccum at all times.
Lets see if i can make this rambling make sense.
The car starts and idles fine now. ( I rock, as his is my first play car :notworth: ) I can't give it any gas though. Any time i try revving it it starts spitting and dies at me. I can give it gradual gas and it will increase in RPMS, but as soon as i let off the gas, it dies. I am at a loss. There are 2 spots on the carb to hook up the vaccum advance. I am not exactly sure which one should be hooked. I have it on the one that hold idle better. The only thing I can think of is timing. Any Thoughts?
