well thought I had it sorted went to all ford day no probs on the way down the freeway.. waited in line np probs drove home went for a feed got stuck in some local traffic and it did it again only once ..
thought id take it out again on the weekend and it started to do it again does most of it when its warm over the blue just under half way on the temp then at times will do it when its just on the blue ..
worse thing is I can let it idle at home all day and nothing happens but when I take it out it has a mind of its own when it will do it ...
was thinking of buying a 350 holley to put on but the price for a new one is bit expensive and am a bit hesitant to buy one and not fix the prob … ill go thru the coil again and test that its a accuspark 1.5 ohm coil with the accuspark electric ignition .. I have changed all leading up to the carb from fuel pump 1-6 psi to filter and carb filter as well … I have just brought a regulator in thinking its soften up the float needle by the pressure but its the same pump as old one, which had no probs .. im still leaning towards carb as when it stalls it will start right back up. and when its in stalling mode I keep revs up over the 1k and it wont stall unless I take my foot off and let it idle .. I re did the whole carb changed every thing in there new every everything carby cleaned it blew it out with air in every hole etc , blew out the idle circuit emulsion tubes jets etc ... ill order new points and condenser and throw that back on with the gt 40r coil and see what happens … the only other thing I can think it is a manifold leak when it gets a bit warm expansion causes more air to pass.. I sort of have a feeling it could be manifold gasket as well as I do notice the revs when warm will rise about 100 rpm at times and then drop at times but its not hunting at all tho and holds idle well when it idles doesn't rise and fall … once at the light it stalled got it started took off and stalled while trying to take off ..unless there is some loose wire somewhere that is not earthed out...
all I know its got me stumped as what it can be … back in the day I could throw another carb to check it but these days they are just hard to find in good working order even if its just to borrow to test it out for a couple runs … its giving me the ****s tho
as for the accuspark yes they did give me the grease to put under it and the first accuspark I fitted just didn't work out of the box … there isn't much choice I noticed for electronic ignition they are nearly all the same with just a different name on them .. another thing I noticed is first run it will go ok then if I turn it off and grab a bite etc come back to the car 30 mins or 1 hr later that's when it starts to do it …
