Re: She is back.
Search Edelbrock carb issues.
Lots of "out of the box" problems. Float too high. Won't take any more that 5.5psi. So a stock fuel pump that puts out 6-7 psi will need to be regulated down. Just a thought. I assume you have the correct gas cap?

Re: She is back.
Thanks for the info. They are going to put a gauge on it to check the fuel pressure. It is a vented tank and I even made sure I had a vented cap just in case. It is a fuel problem so it could very likely be the carb. I hope to hear something tomorrow.

Re: She is back.
Yes, if you have an Edelbrock, a fuel pressure regulator is a great investment, even with a stock-style fuel pump.
