Hello there,
I just acquired a 1955 Ford Fairlane, V8 272, fordomatic, sedan. My father-in-law had it stored away. Anyways, my question to all is this. I have rebuilt the carburetor,(with a holly two barrel repair kit) cleaned and adjusted points, got the motor running last weekend. When I push the lever for the throttle the engine acts to starve itself by sucking air. It idles great, it just seems to suck air, choke itself out, also it back fires when starved.

Any thoughts would be great.
