    vapor lock issues again!!!

    SS1019, I'm interested in your post also. I put a fuel guage on my truck after doing most everything you have done. When I installed the guage it was reading at about about 5.5 psi at the guage. Now it is reading zero psi on the guage but my truck is running great.

    Edelbrock Carb and original Air cleaner

    Thanks for all the suggestions. I returned the Edelbrock Carb and all the attachments that I had bought and went with a reman origianl carb so that I could still attach the cruise, kick down and throttel cabels. I also disabled my emissions so that I now have manifold vacuum to the distrutor...

    What Linkage adapters do I need to bolt on a new 1406 Edelbrock Carb. to attach the throttle cable, the kick down cable, and the Crusie control cable for a 1986 Chevy C10? Numbers for the parts would be a big help. Thanks in advance.

    I am pretty sure my Charcoal canister is Clogged!

    I am thinking I am getting a vapor lock caused by my 40 year old fuel canister being clogged. It is a 1986 GMC/Chevy truck, 305 V8 with a carburetor. On the fuel pump there is an inlet for the line coming from the tank and an outlet for the metal line going to the carb. The third outlet on...

    Oil sending unit plug

    I am fixing to chnange the Oil sending unit on my 86 pickup. Looking at the 2 plugs on the unit they look to be the same size. Since they are the same size I don't have to worry about polarity?

    A little fuel line help, please

    I installed a new fuel pump in my 86 GMC today. That was fun! I need a coupler/adapter to go between the fuel pump and the metal line. Can some one tell me the thread size of the male end on the line and female threads on the pump. Thanks in advance! The female end on the pump must be...

    Question for those that have R&R a Fuel Tank!

    Replacing the right fuel tank with the bed on the truck did you lengthen the new rubber fuel lines longer than the original hoses. I'm thinking by adding a longer pieces of hose attaced to the tank first will give me a little more room to attach the hoses to the metal lines coming from swith...

    Question about checking current flow to the choke.

    Alright, I have good voltage going to the choke but the choke plate is not opening. I can open the plate up and start the truck and it will idle but after a few seconds it will die. IF I try to give it gas it dies. Does the choke filiment need to be replaced? Why does it keep dying?

    Question about checking current flow to the choke.

    If the switch is bad will it shut the egine off? I can open the choke and get it started but it will not run long enough for me to check the voltage at the choke.
