I found Stovebolt a few years ago when I owned a 52 pickup..enjoyed it alot. As happens with us guys, a little 52 hardtop caught my eye and I said fairwell to the truck.....now, I need help. The car has a 235, Powerglide....runs super...starts super....but its developed a glitch...and I'm not much of a mechanic. At an idle, when I press hard on the gas, it stalls...if I feather the throttle, it takes right off....runs great going down the road. Can anybody point me in the right direction? I'd appreciate it. dkoon@aol.com

Sounds like the accelerator pump in the carb.

Olechev,
shut the engine down, take off the air cleaner or top and while looking into the carb, give the throttle a quick jab. If you don't see a stream of fuel come out, the acc. pump is the problem.

Check for vacuum leaks around the base of the carb and the manifold to head area. The carb may be running too rich as well.


There is enough good in the worst of us and enough bad in the best of us that it does not behoove any of us to criticize the rest of us.
