Would this work?

If it stalls off the line, it could be the accelerator pump? I think some of the yank carbs have a piston as opposed to a diaphragm? maybe this is chooched. So it just falls over when opening the throttle?

Yeah probably just needs a bit of love. Carbs are simple things, and are fine if you are prepared to adjust your expectations slightly 

 

Those bolt on efi units are not much better than a carb IMO  

Every one I've driven has run like a bag of dicks

[Valiant]

I predict that the accelerator pump linkage is adjusted incorrectly. 

Does it have a Holley carb?

thanks for replies, 

Will hold off on the efi box, and find someone to have a look at the carb and sort it out, any suggestion around East Tamaki area?

have uploaded engine and carb pic on project page, assuming i take off air cleaner and look for some sort of model/serial number on carb? 

[cletus]

Carl at C+M performance in east tamaki would be able to sort it out, hes not cheap but he knows what he's doing.

This car needs some sort of Pink Panther sticker on it somewhere. 

Personally I'd change the wheels, not necessarily to anything stock, just not wire wheels or anything black. IIRC our Jags share a GM stud pattern so there are various bogan options available second hand.

I had my Jag's centre mufflers removed and replaced with pipe, to make the exhaust louder without changing the rear tips. Does it sound great? No, but it was cheap.

i just realised i see this car semi often, 

 

not surprisingly its quite recognisable 

 

is the paint a factory colour?
