    monojet i6 drinking gallons at idle

    i didnt put the distributor on. I said this is a 80s i6 someone put in. more accurately they swapped the 77 cab onto that frame. and im referring to the style of hei cap since theres actually more than 2 gm used. carb is off a ford 256 from a 76? mercury monarch i had bought last year and gave...

    monojet i6 drinking gallons at idle

    i will do my best. currently debating on finishing the previous owners efi swap and if the i6 is gonna be strong enough for the 4wd. my guess is not really but it just has to get places and occasionally help trucks and tractors out of ditches and carry tools and 120v power to run bigger tools (i...

    monojet i6 drinking gallons at idle

    i said this frame looks just like the 3/4 frame under the suburban as in its a heavy half truck. i swapped carbs because the monojet litterally corroded a hole from the bowl to the throat from it sitting with mud duabers and water. i also couldn't find a monojet for what i deemed a reasonable...

    monojet i6 drinking gallons at idle

    to be fair to me this isnt my first ****** truck much less my first i6. i know the v8 fuel pump on a 250 is wrong and causing most of my issues. I have a proper fuel pump on order but im anal and ordered one custom for a 50s truck with a alcohol diaphram which is gonna be awhile before it...

    monojet i6 drinking gallons at idle

    it runs like garbage still. tells me maybe i should look into the hei a little bit. still no gas in the carb which is good since its not flooding but at the same time thats not right either. im guessing my v8 fuel pump isnt working so i definitely need the electric one

    hopefully getting the parts to finish this soon. i grabbed a parts carb which is a csrter yf and a full rebuild kit. go figure the post office lost it somewhere in my nearest facility. ill probably have to go in person to find it

    monojet i6 drinking gallons at idle

    see measuring it is the easy part. it went through a 3/4s of the way full 2 gallon costco milk jug that was full of fuel without any making it to the ground but sure as heck was being burnt by the engine. looked like a diesel running for the time it took to know the engine and transmission were...

    monojet i6 drinking gallons at idle

    i had it running to make sure the engine wasnt junk and that was about it because it ran through the temp fuel jug very quickly and still wouldnt pull from the original gas tank. still working on making the quadrajet electric pump work for that since 3 psi should be fine

    monojet i6 drinking gallons at idle

    0 fuel in the crank case. which i thought was weird but i have ordered a different carburetor since this monojet was rusted out internally. i grabbed probably the worst carb i could think of which is a carter yf. should run fairly decent i hope. i do have a model b carb that was in the glovebox...

    monojet i6 drinking gallons at idle

    did some work on the truck and realized the frame is just wrong. it looks like the suburbans frame which is a 3/4... but this has 1/2 ton springs and hubs so i think this is a hodge podge of a few different years of squarebody. the main ones being a rolled 84s drivetrain and frame and a 77s body...

    monojet i6 drinking gallons at idle

    just picked this rusty girl up for free. nice little halfton only missing the outer rocker and drivers floor. other than that its very very solid. anywho the reason im here is twofold, one it drinks a gallon of fuel idling in about 2 minutes which is insane and tells me theres something wrong...
