hey guys, this is my first post to this group but ive seen a lot of good things and knowledgable responses so i wanted to post. I have a 79 L48 w/ edelbrock intake and 3/4 cam , weber carb. I dont know specs on cam as it was installed by previous owner. Anyways the car runs/ looks great with the exception of whenever i give hard acceleration or a steady acceleration between 2nd to 3rd or 3rd to 4th , if i let the rpm go over 4000 rpms the engine stutters and acts like it drops a cylinder. When you let off the accelerator and shift, it accelerates fine until i hit that 4000 mark again. Mind you I dont make it a habit of pushing the engine that hard but its just one of those things that drives me nuts. Ive replaced the plugs and wires ( plugs looked fine btw) the weights in the advance are fine, the only thing i havent looked at is the fuel system , tho after reading a post here about a stuttering 69 i may. any thoughts?
