I recently had my 327/300 HP engine rebuilt, and it idles OK, and it runs OK, however, when you give it the gas, it wants to stumble and dies. If you feather the throttle, it will run well, until you try a full acceleration. Then it will backfire through the carburetor (Carter AFB), and stall. The carb was rebuilt right before the engine, but it sat for 4 or 5 months while the engine was out of the car. I have tried to adjust the carburetor to no avail. It seems that it is running too lean. Points and timing are dead on, and all plug wires, plugs, etc., were replaced. The only thing that I did notice, is that if I remove the linkage at the top of the accelerator pump, that the pump will move up half its distance. To get the link back in, I have to push the pump half way down. Is this setting correct, or is the pump not getting its full travel the issue? I have run out of things to check to resolve this problem. The way that it presently is, it isn't drivable. thanks Junk
