1958 Ford 801...usually works great, but occasionally stutters and stalls going uphill.
It starts gasping, as if it was going to run out of gas. Can often keep it going by taking all load off motor and reducing idle speed, letting it come back to power.
Other times it kills immediately, and it won't keep restart fully until I let it set maybe 15-30 seconds. It's as if fuel is running slowly into the carb bowl, needs to fill the bowl before it'll run normally.
This may be the state for a while...but eventually it will start working normally, up hill or down, until the next time it chokes and dies going uphill.
Any ideas?
