Possible Carb issue
 

today I got tags and insurance on my new project car a 1986 Camaro. i was driving it around and after a good 15 min drive i got gas and the problems started. It seems as if almost anytime I start to pull away from a stop sign or red light the car stalls. Sometime It will start right up and some times it cranks and cranks. It is a holley 650 on a rebuilt 305. I think its time to rebuild the carb?

Check the basics, like the fuel filter.

and timing and maybe fuel pressure?

How low was the tank and how much gas did you get?

it was just at the E...the way i bought the car. I got $20 bucks worth so little over a half a tank.

well you bought the car with ''carb problems''

yeah i got it dirt cheap......... Plus i have a giant box of holley carb parts. Its a fun little project.

haha i was looking at the car at the same time you were....ive been looking around for thirdgens...theres probably not a fbody online that i havent looked at :lol:

lol yeah....Did you go and look at the car? That kid was funny. He wanted way to much for that car though lol.

Bad gas!? Sounds like you have too much carb for that motor anyway is it a stock 305??

Depends on if it's a Holley 650 vacuum secondary or Holley 650 Dbl Pumper

Yeah true I just assumed Dbl pumper

I didnt pick the carb but yes it is to much carb for this motor. It is a rebuild 305 with a mild cam and better heads. It has about 3300 miles on it.

If it is a vacuum secondary carb it may not be as bad as you think.
