Default Stall

While driving my car this weekend IT stalled severaltimes. It was usually if I took a hard turn, or hard exceleration in first. What would cause this? carb? I have an edelbrock carb.

Usually with a hard turn or hard acceleration, huh? Sounds like maybe the bowl in the carb is not full enough. Try adjusting the float so you get more fuel in the bowl.

James-

Here is a link to the Edelbrock Tech Video page. There are some great step-by-step instructions on how to do just about everything with your carb.

Good luck!
