Hello all,
Very happy to join this community! From what I have seen so far you guys are all amazing! Happy to say I have gotten my first classic car and it is a 74 duster with a slant 6.
The reason i am posting here is because i seem to be having an issue with the engine. (Bare with me as i know very little about engines.) Car seemed to be running fine the first day I got it. When I took it out yesterday with my dad, I floored the pedal and the engine was fine for a couple seconds then just died and turned off. After that the car will not idle, only holding down accelerator will keep car on, once you let go of pedal it will turn off. Also new battery dies very quickly. I have a new starter, cap and rotor, and alternator on order since these were the first items that i was going to replace either way. One thing i suspect is that the reason the car doesnt stay on is a carb/fuel delivery issue? what do you guys think? Any help is greatly appreciated!
