Re: Restoring Rusty
Yes they work, I'm glad. One less thing to worry about.
Going with a roll pan, the one with the license plate cut out, like this |

Re: Restoring Rusty
Back to your fuel delivery issue. The holley you have has a site plug on the passenger side of the fuel bowl. If you think your starving for fuel pull the plug and see if your bowl is filling up.

Re: Restoring Rusty
Don't do roll pan. Get a nice sport chrome bumper will look so much better.

Re: Restoring Rusty
I think a black step bumper would look good back there with that olive green color. Never have liked roll pans for some reason though so I am a bit biased.
Really enjoying reading all of this man and I am impressed with your eye for detail. Keep it up man....before too long you will have to change the name to the truck formerly known as Rusty. |

Re: Restoring Rusty
Fuel Problem ~ Discovery
Guys maybe you can tell me what is going on when you read this. So I took the truck for another test drive, identical to the last one. I drove it about a mile to the same gas station, then I shut it off, I waited 10 minutes and then tried to start it. It would not start, it just cranked over and over and over. I checked the fuel in the see through glass filter right in front of the carb and it was full of nice clean gas. Here's where it gets interesting: I pressed the gas pedal all the way down to the floor and held it there while trying to start it, and it fired right up!!! Gentlemen and Ladies, what does that tell us? What does this mean? Seems like some sort of break through for sure, I just don't know what it means. |

Re: Restoring Rusty
Sounds like you could be boiling out the fuel from the carb. Do you have a heat isolater pad between your intake and the carb? They are usually about 1/4" thick to help with this.

Re: Restoring Rusty
Good point, we're running this split down the middle Holley approved spacer gasket, it is as you describe a 1/4" thick.

Re: Restoring Rusty
I am pretty sure you've discussed your carb/intake setup but could you refresh my memory of why you are using that spacer? Are you using a spreadbore intake?

Re: Restoring Rusty
Dope, I meant to say square bore, looks like I found a pic of the spacer / gasket on it as well

Re: Restoring Rusty
If your floats are adjusted properly you should have a slight little bit of gas spill out when you pull the plug. (On level ground)

Re: Restoring Rusty
Fuel Problem - Idea
On February 9th I installed that inline fuel filter right in front of the carb and we all saw that the rubber hose 90* elbow was getting a bit squished, I am wondering if that has something to do with it, I am considering reversing this "upgrade" ie deleting the glass inline fuel filter in front of the carb, especially since I installed a plastic one now before the fuel pump so going from this back to this... (it's just a thought, since I don't recall a problem back then) |

Re: Restoring Rusty
Yeah you have the spacer so I'd definitely be looking towards fuel delivery next.

Re: Restoring Rusty
Take the filter out and try it out. Can't hurt. But if you have fuel in float bowls and in the filter and doesn't start there must be something to it. If you are having to hold your foot to the floor to start it then is it flooding out? Do you smell gas when you try to start it? I have no idea really but if we have fuel, air and spark then it should run right? But here again I guarantee it will be something simple. Let's get this problem solved fellas.

Re: Restoring Rusty
Foot to the floor start is typically a sign of flooding. I think you are on track tho to try running without the filter for a day and see if that resolves the issue

Hmm...the filter theory is very interesting.

Re: Restoring Rusty
I get it. I mean I got it back in January when I had a fight with a frame and a pair of leaf springs.
