Ok, we have the C.I. aluminum new head on my son’s 66 coupe. We bolted on the intake and hooked up the Autolite 2100 carb.
When we try to start it I pump the throttle lever twice, then turn the key and it starts right up, revs to about 4000rpm, and immediately stalls out.
If I physically hold the choke totally shut, I can keep it running, but again, it “idles” at 4000 rpm!
By totally shut I MEAN totally shut. If I allow the choke to open even the tiniest bit, the car immediately stalls out.
Also, if I slowly open the throttle while my son turns the key, it will eventually start & run, but again, it won’t run below about 4000 rpm. Any lower on the throttle and it won’t run at all.
ANY ideas guys? I really want/need to get this car running again.
Thanks
