It will only start if the accelerator is pushed completely to the floor but it does not seem like it is flooded. Fuel is below all sight plugs & the shooter is working good. Choke is disconnected. It just started this nonsense after I fixed a vacuum leak caused by a mis- ajusted rear carb linkage in the rear carb. As always I turn to you guys for your knowledge.

If you have to hold the pedal down, you are giving it more air, so it must be rich somehow. I remember you and your car from years ago. You should be the expert ! If you don't figure it out here, let me know, maybe a look see will reveal something ! ------------------------ It doesn't matter what you do.........As long as you look good doing it !

Just when I think I know everything about the 6 pack something simple gets over looked & I'm a novice once again. Choke looks fine!! I'll keep poking till I find the problem. Any other takers out there? So easy a Caveman could do it.. yeah my a$$> 68 GTX Full street trim, solid lifter cammed. Best 11.34 @ 121 mph. 1.72 60 ft. (yeah I know.. my 60 ft. sucks)

Did you knock a wire loose at the ballast resistor ? See if you are getting a hot spark. ------------------------ It doesn't matter what you do.........As long as you look good doing it !

I will trace the wiring & confirm spark. 68 GTX Full street trim, solid lifter cammed. Best 11.34 @ 121 mph. 1.72 60 ft. (yeah I know.. my 60 ft. sucks)
