I have an MSD 6AL on it now, so I think I am ok there. I am going to put a regulator on it today and turn down the pressure....We are aslo goign through the carb again.....
Here is exactly what happened last night.

I started on a cold motor and I took it out , all things seemed ok , even under accelleration...I drove for about 5 miles. then I shut down for 5 minutes to check for any fuel leaks, etc.. and all looked good. I went to restart and it took a couple of try's (not normal)...I took off and I accellerated hard in 1 thru 2nd and into 3rd and while in 3rd it started to cut out? ....kept driving and it startedt o do it more frequently....drove home, checked the floats at idle andthey were right at screw level. shut down for about 20 minutes and then tried to start it.....Would not start...Held throttle open for a minute....waited and then tried again...it started....reved high and then shut down....lot's of gas smell....

Note: Prior to completely rebuilding my car, we had a return fuel line to the tank ( it had FI at one time) and we took it out.....should I have left it in? Plus the carb is the only part in the motor that I did not get from Southern....since I only bought it last spring...should I go with a DeMon or new Holey....
