Car stalled need advice.

I installed a 1/4" phenolic spacer ( most I could install so air cleaner would clear hood) between the carb and intake which actually cured the issue.

Just an FYI for Roush 427R owners...

I did the same thing and it helped a great deal. What was odd about this particular instance was that it started up just fine, drove about 200 feet and died when i gave it gas while driving up to the stop sign. Strong gas smell ensued and i gave it 5 minutes and it started right up.

I agree with Patrick, I had a similar problem that ended up being a very fine piece of rubber that got between the needle valve and seat on my holley (I assume from the rubber hose when it was installed). Did it a couple of times before a found it because it would work loose from the needle and then do it again!

Certainly sounds fuel related. Might be lack of fuel & you expelling your squirters causing it to smell.
