    '64 Stalls - Help please !

    Used a rebuild kit, so all gaskets, etc... was replaced. Soaked the carb, everything was cleaned out (although it was very clean to begin with). Not sure how the base plate got loose. It idles great now.... was burning my eyes so I leaned it out some... I have the idle mix screws out only one...

    '64 Stalls - Help please !

    Thank you so much for all of the information. I pulled the carb, went through it..... turned out it was a loose base plate. Put it back, it runs without stalling. Only thing is there is a slight hesitation when I press the gas now when getting off of idle. Any suggestions ? I adjusted the...

    '64 Stalls - Help please !

    One more thing..... I can keep it running if i continue to spray carb cleaner or starting fluid into the carb. This leads me to believe it is being starved for fuel. I replaced the fuel filter, checked the fuel pump, checked the sight screws in the bowls.... all OK.

    '64 Stalls - Help please !

    Thanks. I disconnected the vacuum lines, plugged them, started it, and it still died once it warmed up. I used carb cleaner, sprayed all around, no change. I am at a loss. I'm nto sure what to do. Again, it was running fine, now this.

    '64 Stalls - Help please !

    Yes, it's the original carb, restored. The problem is keeping it running. I can't. Once it warms up, the idle drops to around 900 -1000, flutters rough and then stalls. The only was to keep it running is with my foot on the gas.

    '64 Stalls - Help please !

    ?? I will check.... but it was running great, I parked it in the garage, and then this. Something went ? I noticed today when I started it with the doors open, that the interior lights flicker slightly while running. Could this mean anything ? Also, the battery drains while sitting for a...

    '64 Stalls - Help please !

    Thanks for the reply. How would I check this ? The flap opens fine as the engine warms, just as it should, but won't stay running. I am beginning to wonder if there coul dbe something with the distributor - my perktronics... as the idle drops as the engine gets warm, could something be...

    '64 Stalls - Help please !

    :madJust finished complete resto of my '64 327/365 hp. It was running great, I was enjoing it. etc... suddenly last week, it won't stay running. It starts great, but once the engine warms up, it won't idle - it stalls out. I can restart it, but it won't stay running unless I keep the idle...

    shifter/trans noise

    Thank you - it would make sense to decouple the shifter from the trans. I see the bracket on ecklers, paragon, etc.... Do you know if this will bolt up to the existing shifter as is, and what about the crossmember ? Thanks !!

    shifter/trans noise

    I get a bad chatter from the shifter area at high rpms (during shift) and also while constant driving it is annoying as hell. Any ideas what this could be ? Not sure if it is the shifter itself, or the trans. Whne I hold the shifter, it helps a little, but it is still present. I have a 64...

    '64 365Hp Motor

    I have a '64 365 Hp convertible. This, as you know does not support power steering. Does anyone know the ramifications of changing the oil pan to the 300Hp pan so that the power steering cylinder will clear ? I would like to have power steering on the car. Thanks.
