I have a 72' Charger with a 318ci, mostly stock except for Edelbrock performer intake, Edelbrock 600cfm carb, Summit Headers, Pertronics coil and Pertronics electronic ignition & Carter fuel pump.
The problem is that every time I get it up to 55 mph it bogs, looses all power but does not die. I slow down and it continues to sputter, etc. Only after stopping the car will it drive fine again while under 55 mph. It seems as though this all started after the Pertronics coil and electronic ignition was installed.
I have read a lot in the timing Q&A on this site, all of which are very helpful and confusing at the same time (I think I still need help with the timing). Adjusting the timing only changed the bogging from 55mph to 45mph. I installed a new fuel filter, plugs, wires and Carter mechanical fuel pump and am getting 4-5 psi to the carb with that. When in park, it will rev all day without a problem, only under load will it die every time when I hit 45mph. I dropped the tank and was actually shocked to see how clean it was. I'm pretty sure it is still the original tank. I checked the fuel filter and gas tank pickup, all are clean.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
