I rerouted the fuel line today, because it had a spot that went up a little higher than the tank, and blew back through the line with not resistance. Ran a line into a can and it pumped gas to the carb no problem. Hooked the line to the tank back up and the carb being filled kept it running...

The truck had a 440 that spun 4 bearings. I built a 383 and put the efi in when the 383 went in. It was never ran with a carb, but the mechanical pump is from the 440.

It's a Hughes hydraulic flat tappet. But I'll double check with them.

That was the first thing I checked. Lol

All lines are new, so is the cam and the fuel pump pushrod. I'll try loosening the bolts after I try running it out of a can (hard to get to them)

I was using a high pressure pump for the efi. I rerouted the fuel lines to bypass it when the carb went back on.

I guess if there is a problem with fuel flow from the tank that would explain why the efi leaned out under load as well.

I'll pick up a can on 93 tomorrow and give it a try.

I'll give it a try when the rain lets up. It had no problem drenching me in fuel when I unhooked the high pressure pump though. lol

No difference with the cap off.

Put a fresh built 383 in my truck and couldn't get the efi happy. I got tired of messing with it and swapped it back to a carb. After installing new fuel lines, filter, and putting in a pushrod to actuate the mechanical pump I'm not getting any fuel to the carb. I primed the fuel line before...

I'll see what I can do with mine. From what I've read they weren't in 73's, so I'm thinking someone may have grafted in a 74 wiring harness. I've never had to have the seat belts buckled to start it, and when it goes I loose power to everything.

Thank you. It looks like mine has a redneck bypass done to it.

My brother's 73 Dart Sport has an electrical issue that keeps it from starting sometimes. It's always solved by unplugging and then plugging this one connection back in. I am trying to find a replacement for it since the circuit in it is pretty corroded, but can't find anything online by...

I don't really think it was seized. There was a bunch of grease on the back of it, and I believe it was creating a vacuum that was holding it in place. I'll be sure to get the paint off the hub when I put the 383 in this weekend though, and give it a little anti seize as well.
