Re: 1952 200 deluxe with 327ci dies when warm

Reason I asked about the aftermarket air filter, I installed one on my '46 Deluxe 282 engine. The guy I bought it from had voiced his suspicion that the carb needed to be rebuilt. I heard him and bought a NOS carb and have a rebuild kit for the carb for my '47 Deluxe coupe. After monkeying about with it, I determined that my adjustments needed were ignition. It seems to like its new air filter/cleaner arrangement. Mine is a K&N (truly the only filters I buy for a multitude of reasons) that replaces the entire air cleaner assembly. I had a spare can which I cut the neck off to raise the cleaner about the neck of the carb to get it out of the way of the linkage, and I used the hose clamps from a 3" Fernco plumbing drain line coupling to make it all work.


Not saying that I think that your ailments are ignition related. Just passing along what I did and what happened.
