I am stumped. Pinky - a 1968 2000 was running great a couple of weeks
ago, and now the exact opposite. She will start and idle great, but
after a block or so she will lose all power. If I coast to a stop, she
will perk right back up. I thought that she was not getting enough gas
so I swapped in a new fuel pump. Still nothing. Carbs are rebuilt and
full of oil. Gas filter clean - but I still really feel like I am not
generating enough fuel pressure. It is a 2.4 to 4 gph pump. I cleaned
and coated the gas tank two years ago with the kit from eastwood. And
since the car has been running I have kind of ruled out a clogged gas
pickup tube. Gary Boone dizzy installed. I may have recently done
something to the wires that go to the coil. I had a problem where my
car would only run with the key in the engaged to start position, so I
made a hasty repair. However I don't think that my car would run at all
if I had really screwed something up. Any ideas are appreciated.
