I finally got it running, and I think the swap looks good, what do you guys think?

sorry the last one was real big.

and another

yeah, that looks nice https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png hows it run?

What was wrong with it?I hope I was able to provide enough info for you to drop that in.Let me know.



Thanks

I am not getting very much fuel right now. I am concerned because, I get 6 psi right off the bat when I turn the car on and it runs fine. But once I run it and I come home after it gets warm the fuel pressure drops to like 2-4 at idle. Shouldn't it stay right at 6psi at idle all the time? And I am still working with my timing. I don't have much time because I am playing high school soccer and have games all this week. So I'll let everyone know how it is probably by this weekend. THanx for everyone that helped me. Racerx especially.

how old is the fuel filter? i had a gsl-se that would do the same thing and it turned out that the fuel filter rusted out and plugged itself

I put in a bran new stock fuel filter when I put in the fuel pump.. Could the fuel filter be too small for the upgraded pump. Because after I bought the filter and put everything in it told me the exact filter to buy. Its a fram G-12 and I have the stock one on the car right now. Should I upgrade to the fram? could that be the problem?

maybe but i kinda doubt it. what about your pump? its prolly something dumb



mike

My pump is a carter i think the 6-8 psi. And I am running 5/16" fuel lines in and out of it, I might need to go to 3/8th inch or re wire the pump, it might not be getting enough power. I will work it out here tonite.

Are those new hoses, and do you have clamps on everything?

And technically you would get more pressure from 5/16" hoses and more volume from 3/8" hoses. But thats only if it runs all the way, Carb to Tank.

It was explained to me, when I was having probs with my carb(and Im pretty sure its true)that pressure isnt the big factor unless you run EFI. With N/A engines your really looking for volume. Instead of PSI(pounds per square inch), you should be checking the GPM(gallons or litres per minute)of that pump.

The pump is rated way over what I am supposed to be running, so I should be getting enough fuel. Everything is clamped tight. Its weird after I drive it, I pull in my driveway and let it ldle and it drops like from 4,3,2 and then it wants to stall. Maybe I don't have enough gas in my tank. Because the tank is mounted a little high than the tank so Maybe I need to get more gas so it gets help sucking it into the pump. BUt I got my timing figured, and when I get fuel, the thing rips. Ten times faster than the 12a.

dude that pump needs to be gravy fed maybe try mouning it a lil lower. and the carteris justenoughnot way too much a holley ble like what i have would be way too much.
