Re: Suddenly running like crap, where to start.

Well, I found one problem but not sure it was it. I guess my fuel filter exploded inside and was running a bunch of crap through the lines. I pulled out the filter and bypassed it, pulled the screen out of my edelbrock and it had a bunch of clear plastic crap and some small metal shavings. Started it up and its doing the same thing as before, so its either now pushed that crap past the screen and its in my carb, or there is a vacuum leak somewhere.

The vacuum to my crankcase, hei and brake booster all seem fine and my ported port is plugged. So its either the carb gasked, or intake gasket or there is crap in my carb.

How hard are the edelbrock 1406 carbs to clean? Anyone know of a sticky or a manual on cleaning them?

Crap, lots of work for me tomorrow...
