Hey all, 1979 Suburban 454. Previously ran fine, new plugs, wires, set timing to 8 (with advance plugged off). Having problems with the fuel gauge, and after taking a quick run last weekend I ran it out of fuel. Registered 1/2 but up a hill chugged a bit and hesitated then - got to the gas station and died in the lot. Fresh fuel, took a bit of priming to get going but now she idles ROUGH. Checked/replaced inline fuel filter - carb filter was clean also, replaced a couple rubber lines and still no change.
Check FP but my gauge starts at 10psi (these are in the 5-7 range?). Fuel pulls from a jerry can but rough idle remains. I think im getting to FP as issue. But dont understand how it works, does a mech FP wear out? Any other suggestions? Thank you.
