Hello again from the newcomer .
 
I am totally frustrated with the car now. Heres the latest.Last night I  
opened the carb to clean the jets,floats ,fuel lines etc,Pulled a spark plug and  
saw that it was as black as the ace of spades. I changed all plugs ,remounted  
the carb after thorough cleaning.
Went to start the car and thought she would  
purr.Instead.....chug,chug...chug...remove my foot from the gas peddle and she  shut down.tried adjusting 
idle,mixture screws on the magnificent 4779-7(750cfm)  holley.Went to start her up 
again....same  thing...chug...chug....chug.....stall...i pushed her back into 
the garage and  tonight I am going to change mounting gasket per holley the 
gasket should be an  open square instead of four circles.I will also as per 
holley adjust  the idle screws to all the way in and then back out only 1/2 
turn.My  fingers are crossed that this will cure all of these headaches. 
I am still open for all suggestions. I will try anything at this point  .
