My 1964 Stude 289 with 4 bbl Carb. cuts in and out under load when starting out in first and second gears like the gas is being cut off and back on. I have to slip the clutch to get going. once in 3rd or 4th gear it will run smoothly. I had it up over 5000 rpm in 3rd gear and it was fine. I think it is a carb. problem but the carb. has been rebuilt and supposedly run tested on an engine. Without a load it will run up smoothly to over 5000 rpm The fuel pump is rebuilt and it appears to be getting plenty of gas. ( I have a clear filter just before the carb.)Also, all the ignition parts are new or rebuilt. It has points and a resistor, as stock. Any ideas? I hate to buy a new carb. unless I'm pretty sure that's the problem. It's a Carter Carb. Thanks in advance for any thoughts on this.

Check for loose wires. When the engine torques and twists on the mounts it may be pulling something to a point it disconnects for a second.
Make sure the condensor is tight in the distributor, re-check the point dwell.
Re check the timing.
I doubt it's the carb.
