I will start with the setup; Type I 1776 Engle 110 Cam
044 heads (if memory serves me correct) with 40 mm intake and 35 mm exhaust valves Stock rockers Single Weber 44 IDF (came off a dual setup) .009 distributor Headers with heater boxesNow for the problem. The car dies when I step on the throttle. If you rev it up slowly (to slow to drive) it will keep increasing rpm. I was able to break the cam in and I have the timing setup to what I found in posts here. Total advance is 30 deg at 3000 rpm and idle is at 7 deg at 900 rpm. The car does run very hot which leads me to believe the car is running lean. With the carb coming from a dual setup, I would guess I need to bump up the jets. Where do I start for jet size? Also during assembly I was never able to get the distributor drive pinion at exact perpendicular. The manual said approximately so I got it as close as I could but it is just past perpendicular.
Any clue as to what the trouble may be and how best to fix it?
