Youngster in the house!
Hey everybody. Im Clay, i live in central ky. Im looking to purchase a 37 chevy pickup this summer and restore it. I drive a 97 honda prelude(dont hate me) but classic muscle cars are my roots. My father has a 66 Corvette and a few project novas. Im here to just hang out, talk cars, and most of all, learn everything i can!

Welcome to CHR. I think that you need to hook up your vacuum advance. At part throttle when cruising you have less air and fuel in each cylinder, and the air-fuel mixture is not as densely packed...
