I took my '73 Sequoia out for the first time today for about a 70 mile trip
each way. On the way down, it did fine. However, on the return it lost
power several times. I was cruising at about 55-60mph. It happened both
with my foot holding steady on the accelerator at cruising speed and also
when trying to accelerate.
The tach seemed to hold steady. The first few times, the loss in power was
just for a second or two. Then it would occur for a longer period, several
seconds or more. The worst time it dropped my speed from 55 to 45, I could
hold it steady at 45, but couldn't accelerate beyond that for a good 5-10
seconds. Any thoughts on what it could be and how to trouble shoot it?
Thanks!

Sounds like fuel starvation to me. As a start, check/replace all the fuel
filters, not forgetting the superfluous one at the inlet to the carburetor.

Check to see if the carb bolts are snug. Not too tight, don't crank down on them, just snug.

Yes, it does sound like a vacuum related issue in that you said on the way
out it was fine. A crack on the intake may take a while to effect vacuum
until the block really gets hot. As all the metal expands the crack grows
and exhaust gases contaminate the air/fuel mix. Best way to tell is put a
vacuum gauge on the intake manifold. At idle, cold, in park, AC off you
should have @ 18" of vacuum. You should also have this same number hot.
If vacuum is lower when the motor gets really hot or this symptom begins
to happen that's it. When your vacuum drops below 5", the carb will not
suction fuel and air into the heads. You can watch the vacuum gauge and
when you get below 5" the motor will react.
If this is the case, remove the intake manifold, clean it well and look for
the crack between the large secondary port on that thin wall. Be sure
there are no other cracks then with a Mr Gasket 404 fiber intake gasket set
(loose the turkey tray) and a set of stainless steel blockoff plates ,
reinstall the intake, use a new full carb gasket (has only 4 port holes in
it) put it all back together. The intake crack should no longer give you
troubles. We have had 100% success doing this.
May also be a partially clogged carb. fuel filter at the snout of the carb
but in that it took a while I would still do the blockoff deal, it's good
for the motor and one day it WILL crack but you will be ready.
It's what we do all the time,
Jim Bounds

Thanks Rob. When I had Dick Paterson rebuild my carb he had given me
the number but I couldn't remember it. He mentioned that often people
will crank on the bolts and warp the carb.

Jim,
Add to that a new gasket for the choke heater and a choke heater block off plate on the intake manifold. I realize that crossover chamber is now dead air space with the blocking plates in, but I still feel that these still should be changed / upgraded. It is only two bolts to do it. I assume you sell these and I know Jim K does.

If Jim K. has them call him. Yes, even though the original choke is not
being used still I would not want "stuff" to get in there. Be prepared to
have to drill & tap the holes, seems many times those 2 bolts are rusted in
place. If the gasket is really bad we will pull it all down but if it
looks clean and stable we will leave it there. I mean time to drill and
tap is something we don't have to charge if we don't have to do it. But
yes, you do need to address that gasket.

If they look bad, I would soak them for 4 or 5 days with Kroil before attempting to take them out. Mine came right with out soaking them.

Can happen, taking the time to do that can make a difference. The question
is not "what to do" rather "where to stop". If the original gasket is not
really messed up we leave it, if you like replacing it cannot hurt. Just
one of those decisions someone has to make.

Took me 5 yrs to accept why our 73 did that.... unsee-able crack in
intake manifold; needed magna flux to find it. Had to fill in exhaust
gas channels.... Ask on net about it if u have the big engine - it
is/was very common problem and causes what you experience...
