Engine continually cuts out - 75 C3 350
Vettech:
Maybe some blockage which came out with the fuel. Would not need to be very big. Well I hope that is that. Happy Cruising.
I know the Quaddy has the filter, not sure on the Holley !?!?!?!?....

It's in there to hopefully keep the crap out of the needle valve. But some people do leave them out
with the idea it will flow more fuel.
questionable at best that idea. When one want to flow more fuel its best to go up a size in needle and seat.
Time will tell if the problem will crop it head up again

Well, it did crop up again today. I think I know the problem. The last week I have been jacking one side up (LHS) to check the brakes, this is when the cutting out started when back on the ground. When I checked the fuel line on the carb the other day, the caar had been on the ground for a day or so and started and ran fine. Yesterday I jacked the car up one side at a time to put it on jack stands to bleed the brakes. Started to cut out again, so I'm now thinking the float in the carb is sticking at an angle when 1 side of the car is jacked high enough causing it to cut out after 15 to 20 seconds. Thoughts?

Which type of bowl does the carby have , side pivot or centre pivot.
Any thing is possible

Put a gauge on the fuel line. Had the same symptoms a few years back. Turned out to be a dicky valve in the pump. Should be between 2 and 5 psi.
