·after a year of just trying to get the car onto the road, and all i get is a car that can go about a mile and a half and starts choking like hell.
i´ll basically tell you all i know, i´m test driving my 73 gt and get all the way to the end of my road (about a mile and a half) put it in a drive way turn around, get about 300 yards down and the car starts to lose rpm´s, it´s not a constant drop off of the engine because the car seems to come back for a second then choke. we´ve had the car sit on idle before for a lot longer time than i had it out on the road today and it never gave out during that time though. i tried replacing the larger vacuum hose (though nothing seemed to be wrong with it before, just had some crap in it so decided to replace it) and the gas filter (which when i blew the gas out of the old filter is seemed to come out a shade of red).
About 2 years ago the car had 10-15 year old gas in it so some crud might have settled in the tank, could that have caused the problem or could it be somewhere else?
