31 standard 8 bucks like crazy driving up hills

Posted by appkril On 2010/4/11 19:49:21

My father has a 31 standard 8. We are packard rookies but not new to working on cars in general.

The car seems to run out well except that it will buck like crazy going up hills some times. When this occurs the engine starts to get hot.

I'm thinking that it my be starving for gas and running lean when this happens but i can't be sure. the fuel filter is clean and the fuel tank is clean and debris free. can anyone give me some tips for trouble shooting?

Thanks,

Kevin
