Hi there,
I am new to FABO from Australia. Hello All.
What a great site to educate one on all things Chrysler.
I had a question regarding my 1962 S-Series Valiant (V200 in US).
Please have a read as I'm so frustrated with this 'gremlin' in my slant.
The Motor:
She is a stock as a rock standard /6 with Carter 1BBL Carby that has been completely restored. Motor has been restored about 5 years ago.
Standard 727 box and 2.77 diff ratio.
Runs on unleaded.
Dizzy has been recurved at same time as carby reco. for better efficiency on premium gas.
The Issue:
On hard acceleration (flat to floor) she accelerates hard for a bout 5 seconds and then suddenly seems to run out of juice and suddenly engine rpm instantly stops. By this time my pedal is off accelerator and she is rolling. ENgine is still running....eventually I apply some pedal and she stars to come back to life as if nothing ever happened. So its only on hard acceleration this happens.
What I have done:
I have changed fuel filter, fuel pump and air blasted fuel lines (back to tank with compressed air in case of blockage).
I have driven without petrol cap in case there is tank pressure (vacuum).
She still does the same thing so I am pretty sure something with Carby.
Mind you she drives perfecgtly under normal and hard acceleration. Its only when i spank her with some high revs for a bout 5 seconds she runs dry.
Can anyone shed any light on what the problem may be?
Cheers
George
