Odd acceleration issue
Having an odd issue. Have a 72 stepvan with 250v6. Drives ok around town. Get on highway...wont go above like 45mph. After about 3-4 minutes...it starts to go faster to like 50-55mph. RUns ok speed after that. If i get off highway... turn around and get back onto highway same thing. Slow at like 45mph and then out of nowhere goes to 55+ for no apparent reason. No hills or anything .
Sometimes from a stop it does seem to take some time to get up to speed. Could this be an issue related to ignition timing etc? thanks! |

Re: Odd acceleration issue
Sounds like the fuel pump is having a hard time keeping up. Have you checked the pump to make sure you have good flow and that the carb floats are set correctly?
That's where I would start. Posted via Mobile Device |

Re: Odd acceleration issue
Another thing you may look into is the vacuum advance on your distributor. If I has never been changed, the rubber diaphragm inside can dry out and leak. Just something to look at.
