Hello all.I could use some quick advice.My 56 Fairlane with 292 4bbl started acting up this afternoon.There is a show on Sunday and I would like to go.My car stalled and when I got it restarted it wont develop power.I have to "feather" the gas to get any kind of power out of it.It will start and then slow right down and stall.The carb is a "teapot" holley rebuilt by an experienced pro builder last year and I dont think it has 500 miles on it. I installed a later model single action fuel pump and thinking maybe too much pressure was flooding carb I reinstalled the original pump.No diffference.I am about 90% sure the float is hanging up for some reason but could use some input before I start messing around with carb.Any other suggestions appreciated.I want to try and fix this tommorow if possible.Thanks Mark
