    Rattle can noise when accelerating from stop

    ok ill have to check the ujoints tomorrow. theres nothing no rock in the hub caps, last thing that was done to it was mechanic adjusted rockers, how could it be detonation if i dont hear the noise in neutral or park while reving the motor.

    knocking noise

    no oil or metal from what i can tell, when rpms go up the noise seems to simmer down a bit, ive got valve covers pulled now. just trying to figure out if i need to redo all the rockers and go from there or just send it to the shop. to be honest it sounds like it could be bottom end, someone...

    Fuel problem on my 7.4 l

    Well I know I should be getting more than 5 miles out of that jug, defiantly since I'm just putting around the property.

    Fuel problem on my 7.4 l

    Yea I know it's just till I get a fuel cell. I don't take it off the property rite now. Later on to day I'm going to check the compression. Also my fuel line keeps alot of pressure in it between the carb and the pump

    Fuel problem on my 7.4 l

    The fuel pump does have the 3rd nipple my old line might be crimped some where so I'll just undo it and see if any fuel comes back.

    Fuel problem on my 7.4 l

    Well no not really on the return pump. My fuel pump is on the block. But my fuel line is ran directly from a 5 gallon gas tank straight to the carb. And I'm running a 700cfm quadrajet and a rebuild on the carb is probably needed.

    Fuel problem on my 7.4 l

    Ok so I have a 1980 c35 with a 454. I'm not getting but a mile per gallon. My fuel tank is a 5 gallon gas jug at the moment. My fuel returns arnt getting any gas threw them and I have my number 3 spark plug gas fouled.

    Heck yea, I'm really not going to restore. If I don't get this 60s step side I'm just going to rat out the body and do a few things here and there to the motor. Hope she has good luck with her build!

    Best carb for stock 454

    I'm looking around for a new carb. I have a 80 c35 7.4l. At the moment I have a 700cfm quadra junk ( I know it's to small). I'm thinking a holly 800 or 850 cfm. What do y'all think?
