little back round info:1973 dart, slant six auto-new gas tank, fuel lines, pump and filter-new plugs, cap, rotor, plugs and wires-new intake/exhaust gasket-all emissions components removed (egr, tac, charcoal canister, ect.) tank vent line has a little filter on it and egr is blocked.-one ported vacuum line for advance (new hose), all others plugged-small open filter on carb-original 1920 carb, recently cleaned and looks good except the bowl vent tube is missing and the hole for it is chewed up pretty good, but it is open. Ok, the car will crank right up cold and idle great when the choke kicks off, and idle fine forever. if I drive the car a little cold it will drive fine for a while, till it heats up to normal temp, then it wants to cut out in 3rd, if I pull over and let it chill it will usually fire right up and drive good up in till it shifts into 3rd the starts sputtering and dies. The car shifts good, but it does kinda feel like the rear I geared pretty steep (55-60mph cruising speed) but I don't know if this is normal or part of the problem. Any Ideas or tips? Thanks in advance.
