Hey Guys,

Round five with this engine.  The motor starts great, idles great and revs great.  I have a 3x2 edel 553 intake with Ford 94's set up with progressive link. Like I said it will sit and idle all day and I can rev the motor and bring in the two secondary carbs without an issue.  I went through and checked valve lash again and is set at .015.

Once I put the car in gear to drive, it sputters and pukes or dies.  If I can get it to run I have to feather the pedal to get it up to 20-30 mph then it seems ok.  When the car is in neutral and on jack stands the drive line rotates freely with no drag or binding.  It is just under load the motor does this.  What is the deal with this thing???????  Trans is a TH350, 2000 Stall, 57' (later) distributor with Pertronix 2 setup.
