Hello all,
I am writing this here because I don't know of any other message boards that could help and i know there is a great deal of knowledge here . I have a 75 Lincoln Continental with a 460 in it. I bought it in Colorado and drove it down here to Phoenix. i am now fighting the emissions demons in this state. Anyway, I just changed plugs, wires, cap and rotor and PCV valve. The car runs great but on the rich side. It also on occasion will start to surge when I stop at a stop light. What causes this surging?? What should I be looking for? I just put Cats on the car because of the emissions guys failed me for not having them. I can smell the cats already as the car is running so rich, it got alot better after the tune up but the surging is still there on occassion. Anybody have any idea's?
one thing I thought of was the car was in Colorado Springs were it is almost a mile high. I wonder if the car has the 'high altitude' carb on it. I notice there are 2 part numbers for the carb (1 normal and 1 for high altitude). Would that make a difference here?
