Re: 1934 Ford 5 Window Coupe

I still can't manage to get the car above more than an idle. I let it idle until warm and as soon as I give it any throttle it begins to stall. Any solutions?

Re: 1934 Ford 5 Window Coupe

The car starts up and runs great, but as soon as you give it gas it starts to stall. It has fresh gas, new lines, new fuel filter. Could it be the carburetor? What carburetor came on the 4 cyl? Where...
