Yesterday, while out wheeling, an ongoing problem raised its ugly head again. I have had this problem for some time and have not found the cause or the solution yet. I hope that one of you motor heads can help me out. The problem I have is a loss of power when the engine gets hot. When the temp gauge gets to the top of the normal mark, my engine wants to die at even the slightest obstacle. Once I let the engine cool down, I can climb right up. I remember a few years ago I had the same problem, but at all temps, and it turned out to be a vacuum leak (bad brake booster). I have checked for vacuum leaks and have found none. For reference sake the engine is a stock ’71 F with a stock distributor set to 11*BTC, stock carb from a ’75-’76 LC, and compression is 140-145 on all cylinders. Any help on this is greatly appreciated.
