74, 360 with a quick fuel carb...
Motor is in the car and has been Dyno'd. Number of hours? Not sure what amount of time these run at. I have the specs if those help?
I just replaced the fuel tank, sender and fuel line all the way to the carb.
On my first attempt to start the car it almost instantly started and actually ran at a slow idle. Felt satisfied I heard enough i finished some other things and replaced the fuel line from filter to carb with a chrome braided hose, mainly because i noticed a small leak on the flare connection I had and decided to just swap out with a hose.
Ran it again for maybe a minute, sounded fine.
Next I needed to fill the transmission with oil while running in neutral. Now it seems to run choppy, it starts hard (basically need to floor the petal to get it to fire and I cannot simply let go of the gas or will die)
Someone suggested that debris in the port would possibly be the issue.
When I cut the braided hose the one thing was trying to avoid getting any shavings inside and I ran fuel through the line prior to installing. But i'm wondering if this could be my issue? Just seems to make sense. (or wishful thinking that it's not something worse)
would this involve disassembling the carb or is the port removable from the body?
