Hi. Recently purchased a '36 Ford coupe-ute (fairly unique to Australia - Canadian built). Very original, although it has a later '39 24-stud V8. Carb is the Holley-94. Hard to start, stumbling, stalling etc., although once cruising at 50mph, it's fine. Put a kit through it. Full of dirt - one jet blocked. Eventually started up and idled ok, although the idled surged a little. Worrying thing is that it still ran with both needles screwed all the way in. Not sure if my needles are damaged - they're a little round on the tips, rather than sharp points. I didn't bottom them out hard. Could it be that fuel is getting through somewhere else at idle? Also running an electric fuel pump (3-4.5psi / 114litres/hr - and regulated down to 2.5psi). Any experience with this?
hi, i would suggest you place your question over on the main forum, i 'm sure it will get more attention there. nice car, good luck
