Need some help from a mechanic

[Bayou Tiger]

If he has the vacuum hose from the distributer connected to the wrong place he will be getting a vacuum at idle. It's advancing his timing already when there should be no vacuum at idle. If he adjusts the carb to run at idle with the timing advanced, it will soon flood the motor. When the motor warms up and the choke releases, the engine dies because now it is starving for the fuel mixture at advanced timing and without the fuel it was getting with choke open.

It may smell like the engine flooded because of all the fuel that was going into the carb at advanced idle and with choke open during warmup.

eh...what the fuck do I know, I sell shrimp out the back of a truck......

 

[mrwallace2ku]

I'd try a 3rd one.
It's sure to work.

650

 

[outofyourmind]

650

600

Did you close the hood tight and then push up and down on the car to shake it? That worked for my 1980 Sunbird when I was in College...

 

[mrwallace2ku]

i have seen a collapsed fuel line hose that when under pressure fails, result was a vehicle fighting fuel starvation. At idle would run fine, under a load…the sputtering power problem.

 

[outofyourmind]

Who on here was looking at buying a similar truck with a 351/400 whatever in it.
@fordman84
@BTHOtu
can't remember.
wonder if they ever did and if they did might could help.

 

[outofyourmind]

He said it ran fine for 10 minutes.
Does that mean it idled fine for 10 minutes or drove fine for 10 minutes.

Hit it with a bigger hammer.

I can twist a wrench, but I never was much of a carburetor guy. Driving fuel injected trucks since 2003 makes it even worse, sorry I got nuthin on this one.

 

[Manster7588]

Silly question. Did you consider the fuel filter?

 

[Rex Racer]

ford

Hold on a minute, I found your problem

 

[Bayou Tiger]

LOL ! The problem is easy to find.

They had em circle it for future reference.....

That was me but the amount of work that would have went into that beast...fuck it

Fuck you, that oval has put food on my family's table since 1925.



If you want to discuss the welding on that truck come see me. If you want to discuss the engine call somebody else, cause I don't know shit beyond...put gas in and go.

 

[BTHOtu]

LS swap.
