im back after a year of school and trying to piddle on the valiant. 1965 Plymouth valiant with super 225. New gas tank, new lines, rebuilt carb, timed (so I think correctly ) ignition etc. problem is when I'm shifting from 2nd to third it bogs down and sputters then if it's feathered a little will run, but not the greatest. Pointers and tips? Anyone near Nashville to that wants a steak cooked for them and drink a few to help out?
 
99% of the time a car bogs after an upper gear shift it is fuel availability.
(If that's the only time it doesn't run right)
 
Does "rebuilt carb" mean you rebuilt the car's carburetor, or you bought a "rebuilt carburetor" and put it on?
 
It is a 3/tree and is during shift and acceleration. It is new/rebuilt and I put it on and followed the instructions as best I could to set correctly. It is now also doing when I out throttle 1/4 way down in first after start. Thnx guys for replies. I sure missed this place.
 
A carburetor you buy off the shelf, whether it's called "rebuilt" or "remanufactured", is usually junk that isn't going to work well for you. Do you still have the original carb?
