Stock 34 model 40-
New gas tank, fuel line, carb, fuel pump distributor, coils all replaced with professionally rebuilt units. Entire wiring harness replaced. Original fuel “pick up” (inside the tank) not replaced as I was unable to obtain original style replacement and advised to reuse.
Issue- when demand for full throttle, engine is unresponsive. It will also pop through carb irregularly. If I am climbing a hill, I’m forced to downshift prematurely to ensure I’ll make the hill.
Any thoughts/suggestions appreciated in advance.....you all have been very helpful to someone whose recently entered the Ford world.....
