Does it have an Edelbrock Carb on it mine would do that because the carb was getting so hot the ethanol in the fuel was boiling out. Changed to a Holley and it all went away.

I got it back after the new alternator and battery were put in and it's been running just fine ever since. I took it in for a week while we went on vacation to have the brakes and suspension checked out. Got rear brakes repaired, he said the fronts are good and it is getting a new master cylinder today. New horn. Waiting on compressor for a/c since it's already getting cooler and that may be a big bill and I've already spent so much $$. Needs bushings for sure.
