>While I was driving the 6 about a month ago I was blowing throught the
country side late at night and suddenly the car died. It acted as if it
were starving for fuel. It would start and then fall on its face when I
pushed the gas pedel down. I could drive only about 100 yards before it
would quit. Restart and then another 100 yards. I managed to get back
home
but not with out putting wear on my starter.
I rebuilt the carbs about 300 miles ago as with the fuel pump, and replaced
all the hoses both fluid ones and emission hoses. My car is a 74 after
all.
My question... Could it be vapor locking? <
I would think that it isn't vapor lock. Vapor lock woudl clear up after a
while with what you were doing as the engine would surely cool off. I
would suspect something blocking the fuel line of a problem with the fuel
pump.
Try back flushing the fuel line with compressed air. (Disconnect it from
the pump first.
