Re: Starved For Fuel?
 

First:

What Eric said: "Next, check/replace the fuel filters in the float bowls." No one on here knows Holley carbs better than Eric.

Then, what Eric said next:

"If the car sits for extended periods, you might check to see if the sock in the fuel tank is getting clogged or varnished up."

It is a classic case of fuel starvation. Replace fuel filters first. If problem persists, remove the fuel filler cap, then remove the fuel line before fuel pump and blow a small amount of compressed air (too much and you could blow fuel up and out of the filler neck) which will dislodge any thing clogging the sock. Re-assemble and take it for a spin. If it is "fixed" then you need to remove the tank and the tank unit and either clean or replace the sock. Blowing back through it is only a temporary "fix".

Just a thought, is the air cleaner clean?

My L78 would take everything you could give it in 1st gear, hit 2nd pop and bang over 4000, same in third. Always the plugs.

At the recommendation of the performance shop I deal with, I removed the filters and am running without them for testing purposes.
