Vacuum gauge shows around 16-18, but dropping below 10 when its almost dying.
I'll get more carb spray tomorrow. Also going to pull the carb again and clean better.
Idk where a vacuum leak could have appeared but I'll search harder.

It was similar but different before the rebuild. Black smoke, coughing, wouldn't Rev. Super rich.

As soon as someone shows me an off the shelf crank trigger that does not require me to cut up the factory harmonic balancer AND shows me a way to get cam position without using the distributor, I'd entertain it for my FE

Until that (never) happens, I bought this: Summit Racing® M2008 Series Carburetors SUM-M08600VS and this: Carter Universal Rotary Vane Electric Fuel Pumps P4070. I had one of these Carters run for 10+ years on my Mustang with no regulator. If I hadn't dropped it I'd still be using it.
Because while I love my Autolite 4100, I need something that is tune-able with off the shelf parts that were not discontinued in 1970.
Aidan: I'm also guessing fuel pressure at this point. Do you have a simple T and a gauge you can plumb in?

I dont think its fuel starvation. I just drained all the fuel, line was empty. Tried one crank to get it to fill up. Cue geyser of fuel coming out of the carb (no top plate)
Thank god it didnt start.
