Edelbrock Carb

[willy12844]

I'm having the same problem with the smell of gas in the garage and sometimes is slightly harder both warm and cold. Will buying a $100.00 pressure gauge give or take a few bucks get me any better gas mileage outta my big block???

Woulda been cheaper just to buy a new coil!

100 bucks!
For a gauge!
You likely need a regulator.
Maybe 40 bucks.
Plus a gauge, maybe 20 more.
Don’t get a liquid filled gauge though. They don’t like heat.
