    What was your first Vehicle?

    1995 Buick Roadmaster with the LT-1, got into a lot of trouble with that car, then the rust on the frame took over and the frame collapsed, it died too early at 130000 miles. I Loved the car, I hope to buy another some day

    1977 C10 not getting fuel

    Yup, it turned out to be the fuel tank selector valve. I bypassed it like you stated above; it ran perfect. From there I ordered a new valve, put it in and the truck ran like it should and had good fuel flow. Never been better. Thanks again!!

    1977 C10 not getting fuel

    We got the new pump on, we then started it off a gas can and ran it off the can. After that we tried running it off the tanks, nothing, wont get any fuel. So it could be the selector valve or lines in the tanks, im leaning more toward the pickup lines in the tank because when i blow air through...

    1977 C10 not getting fuel

I watched it the whole time while we shot air through it, only a little bit of air came out at first but the rest was clean fuel. I should have tried to run the truck off a gas can after that test but we ran out...

    1977 C10 not getting fuel

    I tried that, not a ton of fuel came out so I don't think the carb is gummed up. It is still hard to start when cold, I have to prime it still. Any ideas on why the bowl is draining back into the line?

    1977 C10 not getting fuel

    ok so I got the truck to run, and run ok, it stumbles a bit from a dead stop though, and it still will not start cold unless I prime it, almost like the fuel from the bowl is draining down the line

    1977 C10 not getting fuel

    I use both tanks regularly. Its a quadrajet 4bbl. yes i installed it, everything's the same.. i know nothing is getting up to the carb once its at idle when warm. i think there might be another filter under the cab or the fuel tank selector valve may have gone out.

    Hey all, last year i purchased a 1977 chevy c10 heavy half, and in the past year i have been driving it, with just small problems. but this past summer my float sunk so i re-built the carburetor and put a new fuel filter in, as well as a new fuel pump because the old one leaked. Then recently...
