I have a 34 pict carb on a 1600 dual port motor and a 009 dist. The car was running great other than a rusty gas tank which was restricting fuel flow at highway speeds causing it to stall out.... ran great around town though. I get deployed for over 3 months and my neighbor (who helped me sort out the wiring on this basket-case) decided to try to "tweak" the carb into running better. Now I can't keep the thing running unless the choke is 3/4 closed. I resealed the whole intake manifold and set the carb fast idle adjuster and volume screw according to this site

the distributor a little either way isn't helping in theslightest..... even treid swapping another carb on it to have the exact samething occur! Was hoping someone out there might smack me upside the headand point out the obvious because this is getting me pissed now..... I justwant to drive it this weekend! Thanks..... Also, I am currently running it out of a gas can and there are no filters, clogged or otherwise, in the fuel line right now.
