Hi Guys

dual edelbrock 94 carbs (rebuilt by Charlie few years ago)
Bubba 11A distro
Skip coil
Electric fuel pump (manual pump removed)
New plugs
New condenser


Car started right up after sitting over a week. After warmed up and driving it started bucking on me bad. I made it back to the garage. I thought it was fuel related. I pulled the fuel hose off to carbs and turned on switch to the electric pump and it was pumping fuel. I then took the air filters off and put carb sync on both carbs and they were perfectly in sync. The car idled nice, but at higher RPMs it was breaking up. I began to move the vacuum line (in the Offy manifold to distro) and the car stalled. It now will not restart. I could be wrong but I don't think the vacuum line would prevent a restart.

I am now thinking maybe spark plug wires?

Please note, I already changed the condenser....

looking for your ideas......
