Old chevy 235 six cylinder, when cold it falls on its face

When you try and accelerate it just completely stalls, sometimes not even being able to keep it running. Brand new holley carb installed last year, replaced and or tested the following, fuel pump, fuel filter, check electrical system and tested, rebuilt distributor, check vacuum system, check vacuum advance, no vacuum leaks detected, when it does this you can even pull the choke and it has no effect whatsoever.
This is 1962 chevy 235 engine in a panel wagon.

Question, does it stall, or bog? A few things come to mind. You say the carb. is new, what is the cfm of the carb.? Could be too much carb. for the cam. It could be a problem with the accl. pump on the carb. dumping too much fuel on take off. Have you checked the fuel pressure at the carb. also? You say you checked the timing and vac. advance, but is the timing set high enough? Usually this is a sign of too much fuel being dumped. If you have the chance, try another carb. Let me know.

Lexus SC430 Stalling Problem

Check the EVAP system canister purge valve, usually located on or near the canister itself which should be near the fuel tank. If the valve is clogged or stuck, it will cause excessive backpressure in the vapor return system, which sounds like what is happening here. Good luck, hope this helps.

yeah, if you have to tell the shop how to repair the vehicle i would find a better reputable shop. When is the last time you did a tune up? Plugs,fuel filter,air filter,wires. Clean sensors, check intake gasket for vacuum leaks, check vacuum lines for cracks, leaks.

What is the cylinder order in a 2003 gmc envoy 4.2l L6

1-5-3-6-2-4 I'm going to completely assume that the GMC envoy, based on what I can gather, uses the old 235 Chevy (50's) design, since it reduced balance issues, and therefore, this would be the right sequence.
