RE: IML: 68 No-start when hot

Hmmm…..sounds vaguely familiar. I also HAD a holley on mine. I took some sage advice from someone on the list. I think the almost exact words were “Remove the holley, dropkick it into the nearest garbage can and install a carter/edelbrock”. I took that advice (except I put the holley on the shelf). What a transformation. After spending hundreds on having pros rebuild the holley, I just dropped the edelbrock on (with slight linkage mods), set the mixture screws by the book, and voila…it never ran this smooth before.

Yes the car is in running condition i have driven it 100 miles at a time. I am fairly certain it is in the fuel system not the electrical. Black smoke will blow out of the tail pipe momentarily after I get the car finally started. We have replaced the coil, ballast resistor, spark plugs, and wires. We have checked for spark and it is there even when the car will not start. Also emedietly after I have realized the car wont start i check the carb's choke it is working as it should. I am fairly certain this is a boil over problem on a rebuilt holly carburetor. any advice.
