Hi Everybody,
I have a bit of a problem. I am going to get a new crate motor soon, still looking for a mechanic to install. I am a daily driver, only car right now and need to keep the engine going a bit longer. This is the problem. When I drive it over 52 miles per hour (everyday about 6 miles) it starts sputtering, surging, popping -- kind of like coughing. It doesn't die it kind of kicks back in. It doesn't occur contantly every minute or two. I have read my books and searched this site but nothing quite like it. It is a 327, newer two bbl carb, 2 sp. powerglide, new tune up with new plugs and wires. I do have an Accel bypass points deal on it. It doesn't do it when I slow under 52mph? The engine is getting bad though - taking off is rough and powerless but it has been getting me around like this for 6 months. This problem, however is new? Any idea's? It is pretty weird. Do you think, fuel filters inline and carb? Carb or vacuum?
Thanks for you help!
