Add me to the club...eddy carb, hard right up hill will cause it to stumble out......also thought wiring...

Hey its an old car...it is bound to have some quirks.   :bigsmile:  Its really un-nerving though to go into a hard right and think the engine is gonna die out.

What I want to figure out would be the hot start issue...

I have been considering going to another carb brand altogether but just dreaming i guess.

Whats the hard hot start issue? I can't get mine to foul up when hot. As soon as I can hit the key it's runnin'.

Stumbling may be a little better. I went with a 15/32" bit for the floats, driving it again today to work for a little test n tune

Hot hard to start can sometimes be related to hot fuel...do you have a spacer between the carb & intake?.... If not add one...you should get a little better low end response anyway.
Also look at fuel lines in relation to heat sources such as headers, exhaust pipes there are thermal wraps to help that.
  Here's a decent deal on a 1" spacer, just make sure you have room 1st...a 1/2" & 2" also available.
