What do these symptoms sound like to you?

OK guys - finally got off the flights I seem to be living on and got out to the hanger.

I started pulled the lines starting from the tank outlet forward going forward. I had flow at all the connections so worked forward to the mechanical pump at the hardline. So I pulled the hardline in, cleaned it and then got flow. My guess is that there was some junk stuck there..

Excited that I fixed it fired her up and drove her and she ran great until the same symptoms happened. Ugh.

So hooked up a Faucet pump and definitely had flow going to the carbs so went for a driver and - wait for it - same symptoms.

Everything else checked out so I pulled the front carb to look at the carb off the car and after some hunting discovered a plug of clear silicon glue or something in the lower vent on the from carb where the vacum line goes. WTH (h = heck instead of, well you know)

Got rid of that and now she runs like a champ.

Thanks for all the ideas and support guys.

Tom,

Glad you found the problem! So it sounds like you had some fuel flow issues but that the real cause was related to blockage in the vacuum line for the distributor advance??

It appears so Scott I I need to do a longer drive still but the symptoms have gone away.
