  1. 4 psi is enough but the fuel supply can meet pressure requirements and not meet volume requirements for an engine under a load.
  2. Check the banjo filters where the fuel enters the float bowls. Then I'd do a fuel pressure and volume test. The symptoms all relate to a lack of fuel.
  3. Will the engine rev to 6000 rpm when there's no load on it? Years ago I was driving my 71 on I-5 when I found the engine wouldn't go any faster than 4000 rpm. I kicked in the clutch and found it would rev to 6000 but under a load it wouldn't go past 4000. The problem turned out to be a partially plugged fuel filter.
  4. Are you sure it's getting fuel? Running for a few minutes and then losing power or dying could be fuel starvation.
  5. Any possibility of oil getting oil on the new clutch disc or pressure plate? I've seen old clutches shudder when they had oil on them.
  6. If the noise goes away when the clutch pedal is pushed down, the noise is coming from the transmission. The disengaged clutch stops the transmission from spinning.
  7. When a stock oil bar is clean. solid and working correctly, the oil coming from the oiler holes lands on the cam lobes at idle.
  8. Interesting. I hadn't heard of a V-12 Z at SEMA. Last year I sold a left door skin to a fellow who was using it on a V-10 Z for the SEMA show.
  9. I'd pull the valve cover and take a good look to see if there's any loose parts.
  10. The folks over at Classic Z Car Club (czcc.com) are very knowledgeable on this subject.
