I've read several threads about fuel systems, pumps, swirl pots, baffling, etc. I'm currently running a single mechanical (Carter) pump to the Holley carb on my Roush 427SR. Both the pump and Holley were supplied with the crate engine.
My symptom is that the engine has died twice recently, under heavy braking after spirited acceleration. Imagine really getting on it, through the first few gears, then having to slow for a driveway. Brakes on hard, clutch pedal down, car dies.
Before I go down the road of electric pumps and swirl tank/pot, is there anything with the mechanical pump or Holley that I should check right now? Car runs and idles very well. I haven't touched the carb or timing since Roush did the dyno runs at the factory.
Thank you.
