[Chrysler300] Still Starts Then Dies - '65 300 Con't

["Ryan Hill" <ryan_hillc300@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've already had so many responses this morning, I need to respond to 
everyone as a group.

The carb base gasket has been checked and also replaced with a slightly 
different design to ensure there wasn't a problem there.

The engine was completely rebuilt. Timing chain is brand new and timing is 
dead on. I even degreed the cam to ensure it was exactly where it should be.

The primary and secondary plates open and close freely and the primary does 
completely close.

The gas tank has been vented. Car also displayed the exact same symptoms 
while running it from a gravity feed bottle directly into the fuel pump. 
Fuel is being delivered to the carb well.

The screen in the carb was clear of any debris and I have tried running it 
without the screen for better flow.

I had been drizzling fuel into the carb to try and keep it running with some 
success a couple months ago which had led me to believe it was starving for 
fuel. I may try that again to see if that still works. (I know, I 
know......I will be carefull)

I will be checking the metering rods and jets again to ensure I'm not 
completely cutting off fuel supply when the vacuum draws the rods down. This 
theory seems to be making some sense to me. As the vacuum builds, the car 
stalls..............maybe we're on to something. Hopefully I'll get a chance 
to tinker with it tonight or Friday.

Wish I had a Web cam in my garage right now so everyone interested could 
tune in and share their advice while I worked. That'd be cool! Thanks to all 
of you.

Ryan
