here,s what i get sometimes-
seems like ether front or rear carb runs out of fuel on steep uphill climps-
it will return to normal soon as going downhill or level ground-
it will do this no matter what r.p.m.
sounds and feels like it has dropped to 2 cyls-
if you lift off a floored pedel it for just a quick second will hit all 4 but
then just go back to 2 (of course a great r.p.m. loss and drop to lower gear.

could rear carb be getting overfilled (reset float lower)-or maybe front carb
get,s low ???
typical duel su carb setup-(tr4-a)

it on rare ocashions will do this on flat freeways but then by itself return
to normal.

(flat freeways means 5,000 ft. elev-
mountain climbs mean 9,000-11,700 elev.)

car also on mountain climbs likes to shoot up and run abought 200-205 deg F.
cools right back down after summits.

on climbs i retard timeing back to maybe 0-2 deg b.t.d.c.
cooling system is clean-160 deg stat. and 50-50 mix.
never has boiled over.
runs a big elect. fan.

never could figure out this part time carburator.
ill take ideas-
thanks- steve.
