Default Re: Delay in throttle response when giving it more gas

Hello,
First post on the forum so I hope I did this right.
I have tried to post the pages from the 1956 Ford Service Manual on the operation of the Lodamatic system used on the four barrel carb as PDF files.
The 2 barrel and 4 barrel system are somewhat different, and as as KULTULZ mentioned, the Spark Control valve plays a part in it.
This is not a simple system, and it did not work particularly well, especially on the two barrels. A lot of the systems have been replaced over the years with the replacement of the 55/56 distributor with a 57 model and plugging the in the carb and SCV passages where required.
I switched my 56 Victoria over when I changed to a 3-2 setup.
It seems most likely that your problem is with the accelerator circuit or or the ignition advance.
