| Post subject: | Fuel issue |
Started off with having to dump gas down carb to get it going when cold.After driving around she starts up no problem.Rebuilt holley 1920 from summit and same thing.Replaced fuel pump and filter,same results.Added some sea foam to tank and managed to louse up rebuilt carb .Put old carb back on and blew air thru lines and took out tank unit to check its filter.The only thing I found was that the tank unit is not for this car cause they braised another float arm to it.I will fix that and new carb later.If I messed up the new fuel pump wouldn't it remain messed up.I still take it to work but it is also sucking up the gas like a 383.The car is a 63 Dodge 440.Stuck on stupid and 2years of steppin in Dodge poop.I complain but I know im almost there with wiring ,engine,trans etc. Comments please .John |

If you have done all the above, and you can put a can under the fuel line disconnected from the carb and roll the engine over and get some healthy squirts then the fuel system is working up to that point (if not something is still blocked), the next item would be the choke and making sure that it is working properly and not getting stuck.... The other problems that might be adding to this issue is timing chain slippage and or the distributor vacuum pod may be blown (that'll kill fuel economy pretty well). -D.Idiot |
