Hi guys - the '66 4a is fighting me. Here are the details;
1) Mixture on carb seems right at idle based in piston lift test
2) 25D with points. Advance capped at distributor and carb (yes - will fix but just want to run her around parking lot)
3) Fuel delivery looks OK - filter stays 3/4 at all times
4) The carb diaphrams were OK when I checked them and seated properly
5) I believe I set the float levels correctly
6) New battery cable with good ground
6a) 12.8 v at battery running
Symptoms
7) Will start right up from cold with choke
8) Idles great for as long as I want
9) When trying to get around said parking lot she be OK at tip in then stumble and cut out.
10) If you put the clutch and give her a lot of throttle sometimes she'll recover but usually will die.
11) Sometimes she'll not start again unless I pull the ground terminal off the battery and then push it back on
This cars wiring was hacked prior to mmy getting her.
Any ideas?
