I just purchased a 67 427 435 car and I can't get it to idle.
Off the idle it runs terrific. The car did come froman elevation of 4500 ft and I'm near sea level. If you idle it over about 1400 it will continue to run steady. As soon as I try to idle it down it just quits. Looking iin the carb I can see fuel dripping from the center circles UNTIL I start droping the RPMS. It looks like at some point there is no fuel and the car slowing dies. If I hit the throttle the acelerator pump squirts and the car revs back up only to die. I removed the needles and shot carb cleaner and also tried reving the car and putting my hand over the center carb to no avail.
Any ideas? I was wondering about a power valve but wouldn't it run rich? It doesn't seem to be rich .
