O.K., This car is really pi$$ing me off. I finally thought I had the carb adjustments worked out and My girlfriend and me went to get the car inspected at the DMV. The thing ran fine for 3 miles of backroad driving until I got on the highway and started to bring it up to speed. It fell flat on it's face! Stumbling and popping when i cracked the throttle the slightest bit. I ended up Idling off the thruway and on to some back roads and it ran fine. I could nail the throttle (A little bog) and it would go pretty good. Then I tried the highway again and it did the same thing but stalled and I couldn't start it again. Had to push it about a 1/2 mile off the highway and fooled with the carb to limp it home.

I guess it doesn't like to runn at a high rpm for any amount of time.

can anybody help?
