Engine Performance problem
1975 Chevy Cheyenne V8 Two Wheel Drive Automatic
----------------------------------------------------------------
I recently got my 350 engine and transmission rebuilt. On even even ground it seems to run fine but as soon as I go up an incline it begins to choke then`eventually stall. What is happening? Should the repair shop be responsible for this? Please help?!

I don't have much experience with carburators, but I believe your problem is that the float in the carburator needs to be adjusted just a bit. On a steep angle your engine isn't getting enough fuel. I don't think it is too much to ask to have the repair shop try and adjust this.
