Re: 1988 chevy resto project

Re: 1988 chevy resto project
go down to your local parts store or summit and order you a rebuild kit it's like $40 and super simple to do.

Re: 1988 chevy resto project
picked one up today and found out the problem there is a cam in it so it was pumping to much fuel into the carb and it would flood it self out so i picked him up a electric fuel pump today and it works great

Re: 1988 chevy resto project
how would a cam in it make it flood? and then electric fuel pump fix it? if it had a bigger cam in it it'd need more fuel and not flood out it would starve for fuel not flood. An electric pump isn't gonna help a flodding issue, you need an adjustable pressure reg. I hope you have one for it. A simple block mounted pump is more then enough to feed the carb, we had a nasty cam in one pure race car radical idle and block mounted pump feed it plenty.

Re: 1988 chevy resto project
that's not right because a block pump usually puts out less then 7 psi and should not "flood out" when you got more psi now and it's fine. That just doesn't seem right at all to me.
