Got a 1956 Carter WCFB on my 55 265 Q/SA.The problem is that coming out of the water as soon as you let off of the throttle the car wants to die.You have to stick it in neutral real quick, and bring up the rpms to keep it from dying.It also will also try to quit running when you pull into your pit space,and let off of the throttle.Going testing tonight and I have a fuel pressure gauge on the car now.Will keep a eye on the pressure.Also the oil pump that came with the pan I used has 80 lbs of pressure at 6500 rpms.That seems high to me.
