 Robert - did you check the timing? I find it hard to believe that the carb
gasket type would influence your performance that much...


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 .

robert
