Hi All,
I have a 1975 350 4spd. I purchased and installed an Edelbrock 1406 600 cfm carb. When the car idles everything is fine including revving the engine. However when I put the car in gear and go down the street the engine sputters like it's going to stall. I need to take the car out of gear and pump the pedal to keep it going. Sometime this will not work and the car stalls. When it does stall out I pump the pedal once and start the car up.
I changed the rotor, distributor cap. coil, spark plugs, spark plug wires, fuel filter, set the timing to 6BTDC. Adjusted the electric choke flap when the engine was cold to a the thickness of 3 credit cards.
Today I installed a fuel pressure gauge and at idle the needle bounces from 4 to 8 sometimes 9. I checked down the barrels of the carb and don't see any fuel dripping down. The only fuel I see is when idle and I rev the car up.
I can't figure this out. Why is it stalling when in gear? Can anyone please help?
