Fellas; I've got a real "poser" (as my Dad used to say) and was hoping some of you might share your thoughts on the situation. We took the car out last night (cold and damp weather) and went down to our local Friday night park and hang. I'm totally impressed at the way the car runs and handles, (no problems). Arrived at the destination stuck around a while and left. went to Sunoco, bought a 1/2 tank of gas, turned into the wind, and launched for home (about a 15 minute ride). as I arrived home, I backed up the drive and waited for fair wife to go in and activate the door opener. As I waited, the car began to idle slower and slower. I backed into the garage and it just quit running all together. Failed to re-start, but the engine turned over normally. I opened the hood and looked at the sediment bowl and noticed large air bubbles being belched down through the filter element (? ) I had no way of knowing if the came from downstream or up (pump/ carb) I switched over to an aluminum intake and I'm running a 1/2" aluminum carb spacer. I'm wondering if maybe the spacer should be swapped out for a phenolic spacer? Any thought are appreciated.... /Duck
