Hey there, I have found myself here as a last resort because I can't figure out the probelm with my 67.
It's a 289 and the problem is that when I step on the gas, especially at half throttle, there is a hesitation and sputtering that is robbing my power, as you can imagine, it sucks.
Things I have tried:
First I gave it a tune up since it was sitting for the whole winter; new plugs, wires, points, distributor cap, rotor and cleaned the carb.
Then my buddy noticed that the linkage to my accelerator pump was missing. Replaced that.
Went on to replace the stock fuel pump with an edelbrock, better but not totally.
Finally, I put in another fuel filter even though I replaced it last fall. Still not running right.
I now have this GUMOUT stuff that you put in the tank to get rid of any crap thats floating around in there, didn't put it in yet, gotta wait for it to be close to empty.
So is there anything I'm missing? I can't figure out what is causing this but any help would be greatly appreciated.
Oh and the accelerator pump linkage is in the center hole of the plunger, don't remember what it was on before but could that be part of it? Its an Edelbrock 500 4BBL.
Thaniks in advace!
