@mrgmhale Wow! Thank you for the detailed reply and sharing links to these videos which I’ve viewed a couple times since your reply. I find your videos to be very informative and had previously come across your YouTube page (via the search bar in this forum) while looking for topics related to...

@vintageman I’m planning to do a full inspection of the fuel lines this weekend. I also plan on disconnecting the line at the tank and pump to see if I can blow some air through and will change out any rubber hose to rule that out.

@73inNH Thank you for the suggestions. I hadn’t considered the carb adjustments as a possibility I don’t know if these are related or if I’m chasing several different issues but here’s a overview of what I’m experiencing 1. Engine starts and cruises without any issues until it gets hot then...

Fuel pressure seems very low which has me thinking part or all of the problem is with the fuel pump but I will check the accelerator pump first since that’s fast and easy. Thanks

I think the line is good but considering this also. Rather do it once versus having to go back and possibly have to do it again.

I did take it for a ride after making the adjustments but didn’t have any improvements. I’m going to replace the fuel pump and any rubber fuel line at the tank area. The hard line going from the pump to carb seems good but as a precaution may replace as @giantpune suggested. I’ll also check the...

Thanks Steve. Hoping it’s just the fuel pump and I’ll report back any changes good or bad.

I dug into the fuel line this morning and it was running almost right on top of the intake and crossed over two heater hoses. I adjusted the inlet fitting at the carb to slightly lift off the intake and added a fuel filter and pressure gauge. I also slightly reformed the hard line to get it off...

@Paul M - Great job on the aluminum heat shield. I will see if I can make something to give it some space. Thanks for the suggestion @giantpune - all the braided stainless is gone and did locate a coolant leak I had been chasing. The prior owner must of used a roll of electrical tape to keep...

I hadn’t considered a flow issue. I have noticed the same issue before it’s gotten to temp. I appreciate the reply and will start digging into the fuel filter and pump. Probably throw a gauge on it tomorrow and see if it may be the pump.

Thanks for the reply and laugh. The prior owner installed the braid on almost every hose and I hadn’t gotten to removing it yet. Waiting for a day where I feel like getting my hands tore up with the frayed ends. I did see where Edlebrock offered this style inlet and can possibly rule this out...

I’ve had this car for just a few months and still learning its quirks. What I’ve been running into is while just cruising any speed the engine runs perfectly, but if I decide to get in the pedal it at any speed it will stutter and bog down. Originally, since it doesn’t like sudden jump in rpm, I...

I may have met them at Turkey Run last year and will reach out. Thanks Thanks for the lead. I’ll reach out this week.

Looking for recommendations for a mechanic in northern Pinellas or west Pasco county Florida to help tune a carb and repair a couple oil leaks. Thanks

Thank you for the offer but I just ordered one that should arrive tomorrow.
