    I bought this car to resell but it's so clean and straight I'm falling in love with her. Had carb rebuilt but still has issues. Will run fine for 20 miles then when I stop and start to accelerate again it will spit and sputter and go dead. Then have to hold pedal to the floor to get her cranked. Frustrating. I'm new to this little straight six engine so any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    Welcome to the site from West Virginia. Sounds like you have junk in the gas tank to me.
