Re: Carb woes ?



Doug, I would suspect the carb.  I put a new street Avenger Holley carb on my new built 56 Hemi. It ran great for a couple of years and then would throw a fit everey once in a while , usually under hard acceleration. I thought it ws the gas we get these days, thought it was something in the lead substitute- I would put "Sea Foam" in it with fresh gas and after a few miles it would start to run better,  And when it would run bad with one of it's fits--there was a very acrid odor. Finally I had the carb cleaned and new kit put in it --no problems since..................................MO

Subject: Carb woes ?

So I have this old Plymouth see,, and for the last couple years, it just runs like crap.  Starts great, idles fine, runs good at WOT, or anything over about 1500 RPM.  Around town it stumbles terrible leaving stop signs, or when accelerating after turning a corner.  It has an 800 Edelbrock on it that is about 5 years old. (Reman from Edlebrock).  Ran fine for the first 3 years or so.  Took the air horn off, thinking I'd see a bunch of crud in the carb. Not so.  Reset the float levels and  reassembled, no change.
Heres the particulars.
'68 383 HP engine,
Purple Shaft cam 284/484 as I recall,
Cast iron intake and exhaust manifolds,
800 Edlebrock carb
Chrysler electronic ignition, orange box,
new resister, plugs and wires.

Ran OK after the ignition swap.

Ideas?  or do I need the carb gone thru ?

Thanks
