Happy holidays all!
I spent some time off from work rebuilding my autolite 1100 for my 66 mustang with load O matic. I’m aware of the upgrade benefit to dual advance distributor but at this point I’m sticking with the original set up.
Using a kit from Mike’s carbs, I completed a full rebuild and all went well. It idles great but once I get above the idle circuit (1800 ish rpm held steady) the car stumbles pretty bad (this is not under load, just my garage). I put on a full face mask and watched down the carb throat while runnings and off idle, fuel drips down the Venturi holding the throttle (simulating an at cruise situation). The accelerator pump gives a good atomized spray when you blip the throttle, it revs up quick and smooth. It’s the darn sustained throttle above idle that is dripping and stumbling the engine.
I have a carb with dashpot (auto trans) so I have 4 check balls all in the correct locations as well as the check weight. Any ideas here?
