Won't go 80
Engine has been rebuilt and starts and runs good. New points and condensor. Timing is right on. Completely stock. Carb has been rebuilt with float set at 1.5" per Ken Ct. Beyond 75 mph it feels like it just runs out of gas. Let off on pedal and car slows down and it runs fine at 70. All new valve springs so I am ruling out float. This is a bone stock 49 Ford 8BA with OD. I am shying away from ignition because there is no backfiring. Could the fuel pump be weak? Power valve is what Ken suggested. TIA Frank
