My 64 Galaxie with the 352 and autolite 4100 runs great. I've adjusted the idle mixture screws with the vacuum gauge and a tach dwell meter. If I turn the screws in the engine stalls. I have them about 2 1/4 turns out. After that it seems the idle does not change or get rough if I keep turning them out. No vacuum leaks, timing set correctly and curb idle set to specs.
My truck will run but will eventually stall out and then will not start I suspect a vacuum or vapor block from the gas tank. Could the vent at the gas tank cause this?
If you open the gas cap and hear a suction "woosh" its possible. However it sounds like yours is flooding. Maybe too much gas. Carburetor float not set right, needle not closing. Etc. Choke not opening. Carburetors are way simpler than people give them credit for. However they are hard to explain in a simple way. When it stalls, will it start by holding the pedal all the way to the floor? If yes, its flooded. If not, maybe rust in the gas tank.
GREAT VIDEO!! Thanks for explaining things that make them easy to understand!! Young guy working on old cars is a good thing!!! Cheers
