I did it MY WAY  Group: Members Posts: 1,337 Joined: 14-September 04 From: Simi Valley, CA Member No.: 2,757 Region Association: Southern California  |
I've got a 1.7 block, warmed up to a 2.0 with dual weber carbs. The carbs were jetted per Aircooled.Net specs, and they were just rebuilt by a reputable local carb shop.
When I accelerate, I get absolutely no power. I've replaced the distributor, coil, gas lines, gas pump and made sure the carbs are synchronized. Car idles like a champ. I can stomp on the gas and it revs up nicely. As soon as I put load to it (i.e. let off the clutch), the car bogs down and sputters. Any thoughts/ideas? |

i don't see any mention of the timing being verified as per the capt's specs. the unequal fuel lines is a new one to me. the linkage move is a mystery. what pump was installed? are you running points? can you post a picture of a spark plug or plugs fresh out of the engine?
