383 stroker question
I'm new to this forum but i just hope that someone can help me out. I've built a 383 stroker and it's in my 1966 Chevy II Nova, everything was running just fine had the typical problems with a build engine, but i've run in to a problem that i just cant figure out. The engine starts perfectly, and idols just fine and as soon as i get to around 2500 RPM's it just die's. Thought that it was the MSD that I was running and that it wasn't getting direct power so we wired it to a toggle switch and now it has constant power, but it still is acting like it's loosing spark or fuel. It acts like i just turn the key off. So we completly replace the distributor and everything and just decided not to run the MSD and I still have the same problem. I am totally out of idea's i can get a complete part list to see if maybe something that i'm running might be the problem, but any help would be greatly appreciated.
