I'm having a problem leaving the starting line that I can't seem to solve. My car is a Nova 350/270 that runs in H/SA. When I leave the line it flashes the converter to stall speed (usually around 4800 to 5000) but then instead of pulling on up to 2nd gear shift point it falls back to 4500 for a second and then pulls on up. This just kills the 60 ft times. I've tried two different carbs (Q-Jets) and they both do the same thing. Checked fuel delivery, tried different air cleaner bases and tried adjusting fuel pressure. Could it possibly be something in the torque converter. If I had stator trouble would it try to pull the motor down like that on launch. Thanks for any advice. .
