What compression, cam, carb, etc, are you running? Did the car continue to
run ok, or did it keep re-ocurring? What jets do you have in, if weber?
What timing do you have on at maximum advance? Is the car running hot, or cold?
My initial take is that you're possibly running too rich, or too little
advance, for the low speed running that you'd get in a drivers school
situation. I'm assuming here that you haven't had the engine dyno'd, and
that you've looked at the plugs and they don't show a dramatic lean
condition. Also, I'd be running 2.5 - 3 lbs fuel pressure at least ( I
personally run a 5 Lb fuel pump for twin webers, and always ran at least 3.5
Lbs on one weber). I've seen fuel pressure regulators fail so that they
starve the engine on high demand situations, also.
