this was suppose to be a warmed up car issue now its a no start car issue.
the plugs were wet and looked fouled so i'm putting in new ones. this went
from just a bad fuel pump(so i was told ) to a host of other issues. first
it ran then after a while it ran lousy ,so mechanic friend suspected bad
coil,so reman distributor was put in. then car ran ok until 3/4 of the way
home and it had no power and acted like it was starving for gas. once i
turned it off ,it was hard to start again. this has been a frustrating
ordeal and i'm not, nor do i like parts hanger mechanics. but once my friend
said he wouldn't have given the car back to me if it was bad and i'm on my
own now , i will find the problem through trouble shooting etc.

put in new plugs and car popped right off and then started idling rough and then died ,like it was flooding out,or starving for gas?. now it won't start again:-(

 

Well it definately sounds like its getting way too much fuel. You didn't say what size engine, carb size, intake type (duel plane, single plane) that you have. My 340 acted like that when I first started running it. I went from a single plane intake to a duel plane, and put a 750 holley with mec. secondaries and the problem went away. My heads are ported and polished and the header ports also match the heads.
