    Big Block Died When on the Brakes Hard

    Yes it's an 850 Holley. I'll ask the builder if this is something he can check.

    Big Block Died When on the Brakes Hard

    Kern Dog - interesting indeed...I was going down hill and braking harder when it stalled on me. So that is something similar to what you experience. I have not tried to brake hard on level ground and see if it stalls. I'll try that this afternoon.

    Big Block Died When on the Brakes Hard

    I didn't do the carburetor work personally. I'll check with the engine builder on that. But I do have a nice lumpy cam in it, so vacuum could be an issue. I don't have a vacuum canister, but I suppose some small reserve vacuum canister would solve that problem.

    Engine shutoff while driving

    Ok, all good tips. I’ll try and dig in to it this weekend. Bad gas is ruled out. It was a brand new tank and new gas. Fuel filter maybe since it is all new fuel system. Something might be clogged up with debris. But I suspect not at the filter because I’m getting pressure all the way up at the...

    Engine shutoff while driving

    After 20 years sitting in a nearly finished state, I finally got around to completing and getting my 69 Charger on the road...at least it was for a little while. With running my business and life in general, I just didn’t have the mental bandwidth or time to build and install the motor and...
