Hey fellows, having a minor problem here and there with a hot engine. It's only happened a couple times but is quite embarrassing to say the least. The other day I stopped at a buddy's for a half hour and went to leave. The car started fine backed out of the drive and started up the road, then I punched it. It started to go then ran out of fuel, spit, sputtered, and stalled. Pumped the gas and fired back up, no problems after that. This has happened a few times since I got it on the road a month ago.
It's a mild 408 with a Edelbrock 750 vac. secondary, Edelbrock pump, Edelbrock air gap, new tank, new 3/8 fuel line, and a Jegs fuel filter. It's definitely a fuel issue and I'm guessing heat soak even though I've never experienced that before. What do you guys think, any cures?
