351W stalls when selecting drive

(1/8) > >>

Woz:
Hello,

I have a friend who imported a 67 coupe with a 351W from USA 15 years ago,
now wants to get it on the road.
Old motor no sensors, has a hot cam (don't know what) and roller rockers,
Edelbrock 1403 carb, noticed there is no oil filler cap, 1 rocker cover has no holes and 1 has PCV valve.

Minimum idle is 900 to 1000 rpm, when you select drive it stalls, tried removing the PCV valve, no change.

I know it's hard to diagnose engine problems with no inspection, but any help much appreciated.

Thanks
Woz

I’d say more info is needed,
When if ever was it driven last, does the engine run through other gears, or neutral,
Does the owner know the condition of the auto,
So many unknowns at this stage..,

Reborn67:
Another note, how long has the car been sitting and has the fuel system been cleaned out,

Hey Woz,
Watch this YouTube about Edelbrock electric choke adjust.
Are you getting warm up past fast idle.
And is the electric choke working ok.

Other than that check timing! Air / fuel mixture!

Cheers Phil

Try connecting a temporary wire from the positive side of the coil to the positive side of the battery.
Also you could try connecting a jumper lead from the engine to the negative side of the battery.
