That's a good idea. I think that I will place the fuel filter at the length of rubber house before the fuel pump underneath the brake cylinder. There's too much hose between the hard line and the carb after the pump, so that's a good place to start. I did take it off the first time that it did...

Well, the theory was nice. I did that test last night, and it starved all the way home (about a mile away from the station). When I went to take it to work this very cold morning, and it started to give me issues after a couple minutes. Hesitation and stumble at take off now, and starts to...

After changing out fuel filters, I thought that I had the problem solved. That is, until I took it for a half hour highway drive. After it started choking, I pulled over and shut it off. I popped the hood and immediately noticed a bubbling sound from my carb. and bubbling in my glass fuel filter...

I had the same exact theory on the fuel filter. I replaced them not all that long ago, but it was a garage buy from an elderly friend of my grandfather. When I drained fuel for the sender, there was crud in it. That will be my first thing to check. I appreciate your timing knowledge, because...

Woah, I wasn't saying that in a smart a** manner, I just legitimately do not known my ratio! But we have free ways here that are 75 mph. Nonetheless, I don't like leaving a problem on the table.

It's an electric ignition and an autolite 2100. I do not have a tach, and as far as the rear ration, I do not know. It's a base 351c 2V with a c4, if that helps :thankyouyellow:

I was on the freeway to work today, and after exceeding about 80 mph, I started to lose power from my engine. If I gave it more gas, it almost seemed as if it was losing more power. I pulled off and into a parking lot where it died. I restarted it and it was fine until I hit about 80 again, I...

Does any one have experience in switching get a factory 2v with stock heads to fit a 4bbl in their 351c? I want to switch to a 4 barrel but I know that the ports may not match up proper. Which I take manifold did you guys use? Thank you :)

Thank you! And a big thanks to everybody that replied ::thumb::

I couldn't draw vacuum on the fuel line. I was getting pressure at the pump. I decided to pour some gas back through the line and heard it hitting the ground. Long story short, I spent 80 dollars on tools for a dollar in rubber fuel line :) the culprit was a split line underneath the brake cylinder.

So I think that I have the issue tracked down. I bought a vacuum pump *thank you for that recommendation* and found out that I have good vacuum pressure at the pump. I can disconnect the hose at the sender (where it runs into the hard line two piece beginning) and have gasoline dumped on my...

I didn't replace any of the line from the sender to the pump, though I'm wishing that I would have now. It is undoubtedly the original line. The hard line after the pump is seemingly in good shape with no leaks. The charcoal cannister is hooked up. I took off the gas cap and tried it...

That is a possibility. It didn't feel forced but I am going to reseat it anyway. Is there a good diagram out there for the fuel line? While I'm at it, I'm going to run new line.

Even though I'm not getting gas at my in-line filter? I'm going to try the vacuum test that Don C suggested as soon as I can find the tools, but I think that there's also I high likelihood that I could also have a split in the line somewhere between the tank and the pump.

The hardliners turns into rubber line for a couple feet before meeting the carb. I disconnected it at my online filter (about 18 inches back from the the carb) and turned the engine over. No fuel dumped out at all. I'm beginning to suspect that my new fuel pump is faulty. I replaced the fuel...

Well, the fuel line that runs off the pump to the carb is metal and threads into the pump. When I bought the car from the original owner (5 months ago) it had been sitting in his garage for quite some time. It had a hard time starting when I bought it, but ran great when it did. I'm lost on...

So after browsing the forums and Web for people with similar issues, I've yet to find the solution to my new problem. After installing a new oil pan roughly a month ago, my car seemingly ran out of gas while idling . It has sat all that time until now (because of work). I decided to replace the...

I bought my '72 coupe under the pretense of original and running but needing work. That includespecially having to replace the oil pan gasket. The good news? I have it disconnected from the body. The bad news? The cross member is welded right in the way. I'm prepared to hoist up the motor and...
