Bruce I'm running a carter high volumn mechanical pump and an MSD ignition. I have repalced the fuel filter twice and cut one of the old ones in half to check for debris (found nothing). The MSD is mounted in the cockpit and should not be effected by the temperature which was 180 (water) the ambient air temp was around 55. The car seems to be on the rich side at idle (no choke).
Does the Holley have a seperate idle circuit? I ask this because the car can be jump started (rolling down a moderate hill) after it dies which indicates to me that something is hay-wire with the carb, it will run at higher RPM. It also seems to be flooded after it dies.
I have another MSD box I'm going to try and another carb. I'm kinda at a loss and welcome any suggestions.

Hector I don't have a gas cap, it is the Lemans style quick filler.
