All I have is a cheap volt meter but the readings were jumping from 8-11 volts. Choke was operating and I decided to lean the engine a bit to get a fully open choke. Again it sounds great until it stalls. Now my new question is my batteries are draining and I have a jumpy volt arrangement. If an alternator is failing and not charging my batteries..... not giving full voltage to the HEI.... hence stalling out....Again rookies questions.... ALWAYS SOMETHING! I need better tools and better knowledge! I should note that I took a stephscope to the fuel pump and secondary fuel pump near the tanks and they are both running....
