FIXED THE POS FORD: 64 ford fairlane bogs at wot. any ideas?
ok so check this out. we bought the car a few months ago and it ran fine. everything was good except for a small leak in the gas tank. couldn't afford a new tank for about a month so i took that tank off and "fixed" it with some gastank repair ----. that worked good enough to let us save up for a new tank. we ordered a new tank and the day after the "gas tank repair ----" fell off and my wife ran out of gas on the way home. so we put in the new gastank, new fuel pump and filter. filled it up and took it for a test drive. it runs great, but when you go wot it will bog. it doesn't bog right away, first it takes off then bogs. it feels like it's running out of gas, but the tank is full.
so here is some cliffs:
new tank, new sending unit, new pump, new fuel filter, new spark plugs, full tank of gas (10 gallons in a 16 gal tank).
car ran great
ran out of gas
replaced everything above
now bogs at wot.
bog might not be a great description, but it feels like it's running out of gas.
someone else said to check the timing, but
i didn't check the timing or anything like that cause all we did was change the stuff above

Re: 64 ford fairlane bogs at wot. any ideas?
Did you check the points, timing, and fuel pressure?
When replacing the tank did you pinch the vent line to the tank?
Does it bog every time or only after the car has been running for a few minutes?
When you bog does this happen at certian rpm?
Does it make a difference if you open the gas cap after bogging?
How does the rest of the ignition look?
Do you have old spark wires?
While looking at the points how does the cap and rotor look?
Did the coil checkout?
Any corroded ground wires from the engine to the battery?
I the battery registering above 12.6v and not below 10v? (like a bad cell)
Does this car have any upgrades to the ignition and/or fuel system?

i'm not sure if the tank has a vent line. i'm pretty sure it doesn't.

bogs evertime
When you bog does this happen at certian rpm?
any rpm as long as you mash the pedal, once you let off the gas it no long bogs and drives normal
Does it make a difference if you open the gas cap after bogging?
not sure what you mean by "after bogging"
How does the rest of the ignition look?
everything looks fine and was working fine before it ran out of gas
Do you have old spark wires?
yes, but again there was no problems before replacing the tank
While looking at the points how does the cap and rotor look?
didn't look yet, but i guess i will
Did the coil checkout?

Any corroded ground wires from the engine to the battery?
all ground wires look good

batt is good

bone stock

Re: 64 ford fairlane bogs at wot. any ideas?
i'm 99% sure there is no vent on this tank. there were only 2 holes in it, one to fill it up and one for a line to the pump.
i'm going out right now to check the ignition and clean the carb.
