Sounds like the same problem that I had. Mine was doing it with different engines in the same car. Same carburetor too, which was rebuild by Cliff. I thought it was the filter, so I changed it. Didn't fix it. A friend told me to change the sock. Not only did I do that, but I changed the tank, sending unit, fuel lines, and pump. Still didn't fix it. So I called Cliff. He told me that I needed a bigger needle and seat. Because, the ethanol in the fuel. Engine burns the fuel faster. So I changed (going off memory here, which isn't very good) from a .125 to a .135. Haven't had the problem since.

That could be part of it... I use 94 octane up here in Canada.. And Chevron says it has no ethanol but who can believe them now a days..... the only time I have ended up with a lower octane is when I head down to the States and the chevrons I get only have 92 octane and it apparently states it has ethanol.. I will check what size seats I have... I thought they were a .135 but my memory is like yours Thanks
