Seems like its starving for gas and not flooding. Does restart with foot to the floor and engine recovers and idles normal after a minute or so. Engine runs great otherwise and this only happens when engine is 180 degrees or higher 195. Vapor Lock in carbs due to ethanol maybe? Dual Quads (Carter) are off of a 1957 T -Bird I was told.
