Now that the colder weather is here (for some of us), I'm having a drivability issue with my 64.5.
The car idles fine, but it stalls repeatedly when I come up on the clutch in first gear or reverse. I can barely get the car to move for the first 5 minutes. Once it's warmed up, no problem.
I have an Autolite 2100 on it and I've tried repeatedly adjusting the choke and fast idle speed. Choke plate opened or closed... none of the adjustments I have made have helped. Then, the fast idle does not "kick down" after the engine has warmed up.
I want to swap the 2 barrel for an Edelbrock 4 barrel over the winter months to get a bit more power out of the engine. But, but I'm not sure if my current problem is really the choke on my 2 barrel. Before I spend the money on the new carburetor, I would like to resolve this issue now so that it is drivable over the next couple of months.
What should my next course of action be?
Thanks,
Jim
