The biggest problem these cars have is sucking air on a cold start i.e. a vacuum leak. back in the day the carburetor base plates were the majority of the problems on these cars. i have also seen the carburetor halves suck air where they are joined together in the middle. the vacuum advance diaphragms will also suck in air. one of the easiest ways we used to diagnose this is to have an assistant start the car and when it starts, spray carburetor cleaner around the base of the carburetor. if it continues to run, it is sucking air. remove the air cleaner lid and remove the screen from the carburetor and feel how the choke blade works. if it binds up, you have a deformed gasket in the choke heater housing. try this. let me know. good luck. mark
