    Are there any LEC/Cleveland area members available to lend a hand?

    We are having trouble carb/timing issues on our 67 L-79. I was wondering if there are any Cleveland area members that might be willing to give us a hand with troubleshooting this issue. We have limited experience with Holley's and just had it rebuilt.

    We had the carb rebulit because it was leaking pretty badly. When we received it back the car fired right up and would high idle/idle properly with no issues. This was when there was still snow on the ground so we couldnt take it for a test drive. Once we were able to take it out we quickly found out that the car did not want to perform under load. Any time we would ask something from it (2000-2500 rpm) it would start bucking badly.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated and we would be happy to provide compensation for any time (and a few cold ones).

    Thanks,
    Chuck

      Chuck, sorry im not anywhere near Cleveland, if the car runs fine under light throttle then I would suspect it a fuel related problem.

      Have you check the fuel pressure, sounds like you may be running out of fuel. check the fuel lines also for kinks at the pump and tank area.

          Check the fuel filter as well. A clogged filter will impede the flow of fuel to the point of the symptoms you describe.

                  Thanks for the help guys! I'll take a look at the fuel filter and report back. All of the lines look good and there are no signs of any kinks.
