It sounds like a carb or fuel system problem. Are you using a mechanical fuel pump? Your combination should never stumble unless your running out of gas ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/Twocents.gif)

Sounds like you have a good ignition system? If your spark plugs are fowling I would think the carb needs more tuning. Check the float levels with the fuel pump on and make sure the bowls are not over filling from a possable bad needle/seat, bad )-ring on the needle and seat, or possably a bad float. If changing accelerator pump settings/discharge nozzles does not fix the problem, you may have to change the idle restriction size for the transition circuit to get the correct off idle fuel mixture. I recommend the Smothers DVD on how to super tune your car. See the Hot deals section. https://board.moparts.org/ubbthreads/show...e=1#Post5508685FWIW, I have had good luck with the NGK V-Power spark plugs.

Assuming the car has been sitting (or not driven much from the recent winter), I would assume the old gas needs to be run through. Every spring my car doesn't seem to do well, but once I get it going and get some fresh gas in....it seems to wake up. ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/Twocents.gif) ROAD TRIP!! ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beer.gif) eight ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbs.gif)

Sounds like the common "off idle stumble" where your butterflies are not 'properly' adjusted and may expose too much transfer slot. If you haven't verified how much they are open at idle, that is definitely something to check.
