Thank you all... I don't want to mislead anyone...this problem I'm having is NOT with my Cobra (ready for paint but not on road yet) but with my 34 Ford Roadster.
Running a Chrysler 392 Hemi,Isky cam, Weiand 2x4 intake with a pair of Edlebrock 500 CFM carbs 10-1 compression
Stock Delco dual point distributor,external ballast resistor and MSD coil.
I've replaced points,condensers and now the coil.
When it stalls, there's a strong blue spark at the coil wire. accelerator pump only results in a sputter of fuel.
as stated earlier, I poured a little gas down the carb and it'll fire but won't continue to run until the obligatory 15 min cool down.
So...I think we've narrowed it down to fuel related.
also it's been persistant, I've tried 3 different electric fuel pumps,insulated the lines but no change. Different brands of gas and different octane levels.( Have NOT tried the racing gas mix yet as suggested in another thread)
I've never had to before in any of my other carbureated cars but should I consider a fuel return line ?
Any other ideas?
Tom
PS: you may be asking WHY are you running a STOCK distributor/ignition?...Honestly...space! the Hemi is a REALLY tight squeeze...would have cut the original fire wall
