BeagleRock Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 I finally got to do a real road/highway test yesterday, in town she runs great. So I decided to take her out on the turnpike, floored it from a complete stop and was going good until about 2 seconds into 3rd gear and it was like the fuel was cut off, let up and went on as expected except the cruise control couldn't seem to hold a set speed. It Rev up and down up and down. Tranny is a C6. Any suggestions welcome! Thanks Randy Timing is at 8* although it does have a cheapo HEI dizzy. Seems like a fuel problem though, I'll check tomorrow with a cold engine to see if choke is not properly set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Lewis Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 Could still be ignition, but fuel seems more likely. However, I've forgotten what all you've done, and as this is a new thread I can't tell. But the choke staying on, or partially on, might do it. And a failing ignition would do it.

BeagleRock Posted February 28, 2018 Author Share Posted February 28, 2018 Right Gary, could be either, but I'm leaning towards the carb because when I got her home I floored it in the driveway and the first time there was a big hesitation. The second time no problem! I wished you lived in Wagoner or somewhere a little closer and I'd drive her to you. Anyway I just woke up and think I'll wait until tomorrow to see if there's anything obvious. Thanks Gary TTYL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
