Some of the older gas caps did not have good venting. Try removing the gas cap and see if it runs O.K. If so, then you need a new gas cap.

I agree that vapor lock may be the issue. Fuel filters clogged are also an easy thing to check as well as a tight connection along the exhaust system from manifold gasket to the tail pipe opening.

Hey Rebel, now that is what a parade car should look like. If I saw you go by, I'd have to follow you so I could shake your hand and congratulate you.

Marc, that's the first thing I checked, and it is venting properly. Thanks, Mike.
