Ron, strangely, I had a very similar
problem w/my 57 Dodge. It was the coil, I had fuel squirting, but for the life
of me, it WOULD NOT restart after starting once. After it cooled off,
OK.
Just a thought.

Subject: [FWDLK] Carb Question
Hi Gang -
I hope I haven't asked this already, but I'm
having problems restarting my
58 Plymouth after it warms up. I get the car
running, warm it up, shut the
engine off, then when I try to restart, say
20 seconds later, it just
cranks.
Here's what I noticed in doing my
own testing: When I crank the throttle and
look down the throat of the
carb, I see no gas squirting out. Also if I move
the throttle, the
accelerator pump just stays there--it doesn't come down
with the lever.
When I press down on the accelerator pump rod to make it go
down the
chamber, it squirts gas into the carb. Then I can turn the key and
start
the car.
Carb is a Stromberg 2bbl. Just rebuilt, although I was having
this problem
before the rebuild. The accelerator pump is brand new. Could
the accelerator
pump spring be weak ? That was not replaced since it wasn't
included in the
Bernbaum rebuild
kit.
Thanks,
Ron
