Check your dash pot oil. If it is missing or too thin it will stumble on  
acceleration. It might also be a bit lean. Check the spark plugs. If they are 
 light colored try turning the mixture knobs a little richer.

70 1600  with new needle valves, empty floats and good level of gas in the 
float  chambers. Car had been running great all summer except in the 105 
degress we  experienced last June and even then was still ok. Car has always 
been  difficult to start when cold (air or engine), today was especially 
difficult  at approx 45 degrees.  Once car is warm it will idle ok but when 
trying  to drive it starts to sputter and won't stay running. 

I have carbs  coming but wanted to take her out one more time this coming 
weekend for the  Looong Race. 

Help.  

Thanks
