Ok, not in my Bronco, but you guys are more knowledgeable and friendly than the Mustang crowd, so here goes
We have a 66 Mustang convertible with an old, tired 302 in it, but she runs pretty strong.
Will fire up cold no problem. Couple pumps of the gas peddle, and shes ready to rock.
But after a couple miles, literally even 3 or 4 miles to the gas station to stop for drinks or anything, it doesn't want to start. I have to give it a lot of gas to get it to fire, so I definitely think it's fuel related.
Took the air cleaner off, and it will definitely jet gas into the carb just fine.
Doesn't seem to matter if it's a hot day, and it certainly doesn't matter if the car ran for a long or short time prior to shutting it off, so I don't think it's vapor lock.
Any ideas?
