Ken,
Another quick thought, check to make sure your gas cap has a clear vent hole in it...
Tom: I have an engine which was rebuilt last year as part of my frame off resoration. The motor has only 100 miles on it and is still tight. The engine runs at idle very well. However when you start to run it out on the highway it seems to "fall off"
: after 40 MPH. I have changed the coil, condensor, I have run 3 different carbs and also double checked the manifold and carb to intake gasket. I've loosened the gas cap to make sure it doesn't have a vacum etc. I've not checked the valve clearance yet...but don't think that is the problem.
: Last night I noticed that when the car is FULL of fuel the problem nearly goes away but when the tank gets to 1/4
: the problem starts to return ?What am I missing?
