Hello everyone!

I have recently got my 65 Mustang running but it is acting strange. If I gun it, the motor sounds like it is under power and stays that way. It never accels. Just bogs and this is sitting in neutral.
Now if I back the throttle off it "wakes up" and takes off.
The effect this has on the road is I cant seem to get going faster then about 35-40 Mph. My stang has a C4 auto trans till I find a proper 3 speed Manual.

Things that I have done so far.
full tune up including Plugs,Cap, rotor and Points.
I have also rebuilt the carb. The carb is a 2 Bbl Motorcraft.

The problem was really bad and cleared up some when I rebuilt the carb, but is still very very noticable.

Any help and suggestions would be great!
Thanks,

~Ryan
