Just replaced the 305 with another 305. Having a problem when hopping on the gas it is bogging down. Motor is stock no a/c yet and no emitions. It also is running alittle hot. Any ideas.

Running alittle hot is probably the cause...my car was running about 220 the other day because it was so hot that day and I experienced vapor lock myself, my car would almost die then take of for just a split second and amost die again, I had to be real easy on the gas just to get home. I dont have any problems when it is cool outside 70's or low 80's but the other day it was above 90 and I had that problem. I would start with trying to make your car run cooler...what temp is it running at? What intake and carb are you running? Aluminum intakes dissipate heat alot better than a cast iron intake. Either way I would get your cooling system right and then go from there.

 

Doesn't sound anything like vapor lock to me.

 

It has been running 220. The thermo they out in it is 195. When I get it back from the shop should I change it to 160 or 180. Would that make a difference. I am running a Qjet 4 bbl. It is electronic stock carb. STill have the fuel metering sensor, and another sensor( forgot what it was).

 

Its not vapor locked, the back 2 bbls are not working. YEA THATS GREAT. So I will have another thread in a second. With pics and the question I poss.
