Hi,
I've posted before with this problem, but I still haven't cured it. If you even have a remote guess, I'll take any input you have.
When my '65 Mustang w/ 200 I6 gets hot, it stalls when I brake hard, or go over a large bump when just putting along at idle (usually backing out of my driveway onto the street), or when I shift from park to reverse or reverse to drive.
I can kill it every time when the air condtioner is running, I turn the wheels all the way to one side or the other (it has power steering), and then shift from park to reverse or drive. When the car is hot, this is guaranteed to kill the engine as soon as I shift.
When I brake hard, it doesn't die until just after the car comes to a complete stop.
It only does it when it's hot, not warm, but hot. I live in Phoenix, and when the temp outside is 85 degrees or so, and I drive the car about 15 minutes, it starts giving me the problem. When it dies, it fires back up after it turns over 5 or 6 times. Usually the hotter the car gets, the worse my problem is. The engine itself is not overheating or even really getting into the Hot range on the guage.
I've tried:
2 different Holley rebuilt carbs,
put a spacer under the carb,
bent the fuel lines away from the block,
new fuel filter,
played with timing
played with the air/fuel mixture,
played with idle speed,
drove it with the gas cap off,
installed a new Accel coil.
Nothing works. Even bumping up the idle screw so it idles at a rediculiously high rpm doesn't fix it.
The car doesn't have points, I installed a Pertronix ignitor.
Please help me if you can, I'm about to FLIP OUT!!!!
Thanks a lot for your time,
John Thomas
