OK. 1946 sedan V8 all stock 6V. 115 -125 lbs compression, installed electric fuel pump. new plugs & wires. been thru 3 distributors & 3 carbs. and run all new fuel lines. The car will run 75 plus mph when you ease up to it. But get home in the garage and rev it and anything over a 1/4 throttle it goes flat and will just die out completely if you floorboard it. I have run a toggle switch and wire straight off the battery to the coil to give it full voltage and no difference. have changed out coil also. It starts in a bump of the starter and purrs like a kitten but just turns flat with rpm. What else can I do??????????????
