This problem developed during a 650 miles traveled day. On my last fill up the car almost died when I accelerated up a ramp to the interstate. I babied it back and once it caught up to itself, fuel feed wise, the acceleration was fine. Happens quite often now after stopping either at a light or actually turning the car off.
Crate motor, nothing special. Edelbrock 1406. Does need to be re-timed. I have adjusted the distributor as it was barely chugging at lights...it was loose, chronic problem with this car. Engine compartment is HOT. Fuel line was very hot like holding a very hot cup of coffee and having to put it down right away.
Also, for those interested (Sarge), horrible gas mileage at altitude. Probably got less than 12 mpg for the part of the trip that was over 5000 feet, most of it was over 6000 and some over 7000. Didn't seem to loose get up and go but did use lots more fuel to get up.
