Float level....my car wouldn't start when I parked it in my friends driveway...steep...nose up...had to back it down to level for it to start.
Just a thought......

Carburator issue. I think

what's with the paint all over everything?
that 1906 is fine for the motor, despite what some persons may say. a benefit is that there is tons of info and tuning guides for these online.
2nd question, how's the fuel filter look?

I had a similar problem, on a 10:1 MG 4 banger. Drive up a long hill, start running like crap, pull over and stall. It was fuel percolation at the pump and regulator. Installed clear hose to diagnose it and after the fix (went to a mech fan, no clutch, plus a return line) put regular line back in.
That avs2-650 is the bees knees, great on a 273

I have tried wot on level roads and it does not buck doing that. It is only on rather steep hills

If you pull over, does it idle poorly when it's acting up? Or a strong smell of gas?

Being on a hill almost 2 miles long and really steep i just want to get to the top. But really is no place to pull over. Just noticed you are in New Mexico. My grand son is in New Mexico. He right now is building a 67 Barracuda. He is going to do everything himself except paint. He learned alot in the Air Force

I made a mistake. On wot on flat it does NOT buck at all

If it does it more on a warm day I'd suspect percolation, but if it does it all the time then it likely isn't. The hill will just make things hotter, but it sounds like fuel delivery of some kind.
If you can you mount a fuel pressure gauge visible above the hood, if even temporarily, you could find out quickly.
Hey that is cool, 67's are one of my favorite A bodies. We've got a pretty large air force base here, Kirtland, in addition to Sandia Labs. Your grandson could do the paint if he wanted to, if he can do everything else it's not that big of a deal. Some AF bases have paint booths you can use for free.

I think he was in Arizona in AF. Met his wife in Vegas. When he got out of AF they married and are in New Mexico. Tomorrow depending on temp around here I will change gas filter and then drive it. See what happens
Blow through with your mouth, and/or cut it open, too.
Based on how my 340 ran out of fuel in second gear at Bandimere with current fuel, I would focus on making sure that the fuel delivers system from pickup to filter is free flowing and the pump makes 5-6 PSI reliable. Modern gas has higher vapor pressure than desired due to ethanol content. Make sure fuel lines near heat sources are at least not close to the source or are insulted. A simple length of fuel line tubing slipped over the steel line should suffice.

Ok. Next. step is the carb is off. I bought a new filter which is not on yet. I took it to one of the best carb guys in my area. His name is Phillipy and he was a carb guy for Joe Gibbs when Nascar ran carburetor. All the drag and circle track guys around here and from down south use him. He said the inside of carb is extremely clean. The floats were very good setting at normal run but we're kinda high at wot. I hope I got that right??? He said the issue almost sounds like ignition issue. He is putting it back together tomorrow and I can install it and test it. After he tests it tomorrow

Lol. Actually my walk to Reading high school was uphill over half the way there . Total walk was close to 1.7 miles and rule was ar 2 miles you could get a city bus. Damn

I call that "Vapor Lock" ethanol with winterize fuel is even worse. The problem is our older motor driven fuel pumps draw from the tank and a vapor in the line due to heat will stop the draw, until cooled. The fuel pumps in the tanks on newer car push the fuel to the motor, so you get no vapor interference. An electric pump down by the tank will help in this. I installed one on my van, as a backup pump, years ago. As some here mentioned, I would check the floats, or install another carb, as for the same check. Had a Holley once that I would drain the bowels dry when I hammered down on my 340. Just a little adjustment did the trick. Not too much or you will overflow out the vent.
That's funny, where we live my kids could have gotten the bus to HS if we lived on the other side of a street that was 5 houses from our street.

Really stupid. But I guess there has to be a limit somewhere
