84 not running right when HOT

I just had a new engine installed in my 84, it idles and runs like a champ when it is cold but once it gets warm (over 200 or so) it starts running just a little bit rough but when I take corners it dies. The timing is correct, I have checked for vacuume leaks(plus it runs perfect when cold) and I'm not sure what else to check.....any ideas? Thanks :cheers:

Yes- go to the suggested site (best place for 84 info) how old is the fuel pump\fuel screen attached to it and the fuel filter itself? Also, what thermostat is in it? 180 is best, 195 is stock...and if you have a 160 in it, it may be causing the computer to freak out (some 84's have been known to do this with a 160 t-stat)

Is it giving you any codes? Check Engine light flashing? I am leaning towards fuel pump\filter myself...
