86 C10 face plants after floored

Asked by 86c10 Jan 15, 2019 at 05:18 PM about the 1986 Chevrolet C/K 10 RWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I have an 86 Chevy C10, Stock 305 and manifold with a edelbrock 1906.  
The problem occurred I think after I installed the vintage air system.  
Basically, It starts great, runs great and revs at idle but if I put it in reverse or
drive and floor it with brake on, when the motor rpms come back down, it
simply shuts off.  Starts right back up, but everytime I let off throttle, it dies.  
Any ideas?  I have searched and searched....asked 6 different parts
stores....no dice.

Thanks!

Trying to figure out using the carb cleaner to see if I have a leak. As for the AC solenoid, I am not sure. I am very new to all this stuff. My carb is an edelbrock AVS2

Gary, I never had the problem before I gutted the AC and put the vintage air in.... What could I have done to the vacuum?

You need a solenoid to kick up the idle when the AC is on. Not something that is part of most (or any) carbs. Check out Summit Racing.

I haven't charged or used the AC yet so I don't think it's the problem. I don't even have to drive it, I can rev it stopped with the brake pressed in gear and it still revs up and then dies...

Looking at the Edlebrock website I cannot see that any AVS2 comes set up for AC.

    My 1972 runs great but after about 40 mins of running it stops. It will turn over but not start. If I leave it for a while then it will run again. Before it stops it lurches.
