1964 Eldorado Convertible stalls while driving.
My 1964 Eldorado convertible stalls while driving. It completely goes dead, it will not start up right away. when you turn the key there is no sound at all. After sitting for about 5 minutes, turn the key and the car starts right up. Already replace the fuel pump . It still happens. Does anyone have any idea on what may be going on?

I had a similar problem a few years ago. In my case it turned out to be the ignition switch. From what you describe it sounds like an electrical problem. Check ignition wiring. connections, components, battery cables, grounds, etc.

If you dont know the age of the battery cables, just replace them. At the ignition switch, check for blackened or darkened connectors. That indicates a loose and heated connector. Check the connector to the bottom of the fuse block also. Connection at the battery terminal on the starter needs to be check as well.

At full speed. It starts to sputter then shuts down.

Edelbrock Carb Block off Plates

Hey guys,
I have installed the same Edelbrock carb and have done everything the same as Jason’s carb and intake project. In the spring and summer months the car starts, runs and idles great! In the fall and winter months on a cold start, the car starts awful and wants to die until it warms up. I have to keep my foot on the throttle until it warms up or it will idle just terrible and try to die. Once it’s warm, it runs fantastic! Whats going on here? I was thinking of removing the…

Loud air moving sound within carb with cleaner removed
Posted by Dave Fehrle on March 23, 2024 at 3:23pm 8 Comments 1 Like
While checking my Carter carb with engine running, I took the air cleaner off and there was a very loud hissing sound of air. I placed a piece of paper over the carb and it didn’t move up or down, is this normal?
