I would have to say accelerator cable. My 67BGT had problems with a
sticking piston and it did not cause the engine to accelerate. Quite the
opposite - it would die at idle and seemed to hesitate on acceleration.

Subject: engine races annoyingly
Hi listers,
I have a couple of problems that need the expert wisdom of this list.
Occasionally the rebuilt engine on '66 B races to 3000 rpm. Most times I
can blip the throttle and it comes back to idle....sometimes not.
Where do I look for the problem. I am thinking the obvious...accelerator
cable...but what about a bit of dirt in the dashpot causing the piston
to stick.
The other problem is keeping the tubes from going flat with spoke
wheels. Covering the spoke nuts with electrical friction tape works for
a while, but when the wheels heat up the tape migrates to the edges of
the rim and exposing the spokes causing flats.....what do I do to
prevent this?
TIA
