Hi Everyone
I just got the carb back from the carb shop for the second time. They told me it ran good on the bench. I put it in today and it feels like a dead spot just off of idle, and it wants to idle at around 1800 RPM. Could this be anything other than the carb?
When it is put in gear it stays running, but as soon as the pedal is depressed, there is a spot where it coughs and wants to stall. once past the spot it runs like it should. It doesn't matter if its from a stand still, or doing 30 MPH that spot is there.

Any help would be appreciated
This car is driving me crazy It belongs to Mother-in-law
Thanks
Doug

I had a car once that had that and it just needed plugs and wires but the idle you should be able to adjust down with a screw driver. Well i hope you figure it out dont know if that will help but some of the dumbest stuff comes from simple things

i would check your fuel pressure with a guage. or heck, just check your fuel filter and fuel pump and stuff.

another thing maybe to check..is the wrong vacuum line could be hooked up to your vacuum advance on the distributor. so like, may at that certain rpm, theres not enough vacuum there to make the dizzy advance. just a thought.

I would check the timing, first, then look for vacuum leaks. Do you still have the stock carb and all those vacuum lines attached?
