RE: [Chrysler300] Distributor Cap, 300G

[Bill Huff <czbill@xxxxxxxxxx>]

If the carburetors were rebuilt properly, and if there is adequate 
fuel squirt from the accelerator pumps, it should not be a fuel 
starvation problem between the tank and the carb inlet.  It takes a 
short while to empty the float bowls and the engine is dying on 
acceleration from idle.  You could fill the carbs, disconnect the 
fuel line and probably drive several hundred feet before the engine 
died.  To eliminate the carbs as a source, trying known good ones is 
best, but obviously that may not be readily possible.  When the 
engine dies, does it backfire?  There may be known specific issues 
with ram cars that could cause this.

The car must run down the road or you wouldn't know that it won't go 
up the hill.  How is the power and response when accelerating 
slowly?  Will the car run up to speed and will it go up the hill with 
slower application of throttle?

I would still verify that the distributor's mechanical advance is not 
stuck, being retarded will suck everything from an engine when accelerating.
