Help! Engine misfire under load.
I'm having an issue of the engine breaking up under a load. Starts and runs fine but if you give it throttle it'll break up like crazy. It's a sbc with a new pro-systems carb, afr heads solid roller cam, 10.4 compression. Plugs didn't change anything and a new cap and rotor didn't help either. It does have an MSD 6al ignition with an HEI though. Any ideas? Probably change the coil next. Help!

Did you change the fuel pump?
I could be that with all the modifications you don't have enough fuel pressure under load.

Re: Help! Engine misfire under load.
Fuel pressure is 7 psi. and the pump is fairly new. The bowls are set to about 55 percent full. Doesn't seem to be sucking the bowls dry or anything.
