Ok, I posted this once and no one had any idea what was causing it so I am trying again.
1971 Chevy Chevelle Malibu
-350 small block GM crate motor
-700r4 overdrive tranny
-hooker shorty comp headers
Here is the problem. From standstill, my car drives perfectly. If I am cruising at around 30-40 mph, any time I need to gun it (like getting on the freeway),
the car almost always hesitates, then the engine begins to sputter (like it isn't getting the gas it needs), and sometimes there is a loud click from the passenger side of my engine, and then all the sudden it goes perfectly. This happens 95% of the time, and 100% of the time while slightly turning. It isn't a problem with engine temp since it happens whether the engine is hot or cold. I really need a suggestion here, I am willing to try ANYTHING.
Is it my choke?
Is it my carb? (Carb is brand new, came with the block)
Is it my elec fuel pump? (Holley Red. 7psi)
Please reply with suggestions, i am truly stumped here...
