1965 Ford Thunderbird
390 FE V8
I recently replaced the intake manifold with an Edelbrock Performer RPM and now she won't keep running. There are no vacuum leaks, or anything else visably wrong.
The car ran just fine (maybe a small exhaust leak) before I replaced the manifold, and I put everything I took off back on again. In the meantime I have rebuilt the carb, replaced the coil and dist. cap, and rechecked every wire I can find. Still, she does the same thing everytime; Starts, and will keep running for up to 30 seconds if I keep pumping the gas pedal. I also checked the fuel lines, and the carb is receiving ample fuel to keep her alive.
I really don't know what to do next. I have electronic ignition (Crane Cams) and I'm thinking of replacing it along with the distributor, plugs, and wires to see if there is any effect.
Any help would be really great, thanks!
