dead in the water
well the old truck left me dead in the water last night.. got it running pretty darn good after Imacarguytoo helped us figure out the one of the accelorator pump was sticking. Drove it around for about 2 hours and decided to take it into town. Drove around for about another hour in town and was on my way back when it just shut off like it ran out of gas. It would start and run and then die like it was running out of gas so I put a new fuel pump on and then I guess I flooded it trying to get it started again so we had it towed and as soon as it was off the flat bed it fired right up. Now it seems like the accelorator pump is sticking but it's not and has a rough spot off idel. any ideas? But all in all it's dang fast with the supercharger and you get a dobble take when people walk by with the hood open at the parts store.

Re: dead in the water
It's a holly 4150 700cfm douple pumper that they make for superchargers powervalve is relocated to the base of the intake.
1. the power valve is good 2. the floats are good I think the reason I couldnt get it started was my igniton module, I started it this morning and it ran ok, then about an hour later when the gargage was warm I went out and tried to start it again, no spark, so I put my old module back in and it fired right up. But I think it's running a little to rich I'm going to jump up a spark plug heat range and see if it helps at all I jumped 2 heat ranges down when I put the blower on so we will see what it does with a hotter set of plugs
