Old f-600, 292 v-8 (y block) what would cause it to puff back through the carb and stall, soon as you let out the clutch, when warm, then hard to start again have to keep crankin er, til she catches. Not backfiring through the carb, just a nice PFFFFFFT ! don't notice any gas odor or fumes after. Tune up is new, plugs wires, points etc., this is a good running motor actually, oil pressure is good, like 80 when cold and 30-40 warm think she might have been freshened up at some time, odometer is correct at 85,000 miles original motor. Starts up from 0-10 degrees F, full choke, first try.
Been through this on small block chevy's, timing if I remember, easy fix usually. I've never been in the carb on this one, think it's a factory 2bbl holley, or whatever the standard truck y block carb was. Sounds like it starves for fuel, but what's the pfft... through the carb from ...
maybe it's a carb issue, I should rebuild it anyway, good at doing those too, that and dig up a timing light and check that too. I've got the orginal service manual for the '64 600-800's, funny, while fixin er up a few times, if you did exactly what the book called for, it worked like a charm, electrical and brake items. Fun old truck, for occasional trips, nothing heavy, and loading with fire wood logs around here.
