No need for further research. You wont be disappointed.

Its finally fixed! I changed out the gauge and its running and driving fine, never moves from 7 psi with a stock unregulated pump. So all along it was just a combination of a faulty gauge and needles and seats acting up in the carb.

It sucked the bowls dry and died the first time. Then it stalled and was dripping out a booster so im thinking sticky needle and seat in my 750 carb. Ill be swapping out the gauge and driving it again changing nothing else to see if thats the problem. My best guess at this point is a combination...

Well i swapped carbs to a 600? Cfm holley i had laying around. Dont know much about it other than its old and worked the last time i used it. The car ran without a hitch with the other carb so im going to throw a kit in my good carb and reset the float levels. The weird thing is my pressure...

I just realized i never tried this. I will be doing this next for sure just to rule out the carb possibly

Well now im completely stumped. Heres what i have tried: -removed regulator -changed back to stock mechanical fuel pump -took the gas cap completely off when pressure was dropping -inspected every inch of the vent and feed lines, not close to any exhaust and no pinch points or kinks And also...

Tomorrow before work i will check out the vent system. But i was also wondering do you think the gas is the issue? Im in wisconsin and maybe were still getting rid or winter blend since it dips in the 40's over night. Im using 93 octane with 10% ethanol. Thats the best i can get around here...

Thanks for the quick replies. I think my vent is good because i blew 10psi into the vent tube to get fuel up to the carb. But i will see if it does it with the cap loose anyway. Any other things to try?

I just finished changing out the whole drivetrain in my 72 duster. I have a new 3/8 pickup, 3/8 hard line (aluminum) with the fuel filter roughly by the passenger floor. Running a carter m6270 if i remember right and a holley dead head style regulator with -6AN from the pump to the carb. Holley...

If youre on a budget i have a used box, give me $10 and pay to ship and its yours. Coming from 53085, you will also need to lengthen the steering shaft for the swap. Spline might be different as well? Someone might need to chime in on that one. My manual box is filled with grease though, im...

I have a b body 8 3/4 rear under my 72 duster and i run 18x7 wheels with 5.5" backspace. They have the perfect amount of quarter clearance if you ask me, about 1/2" on the outside and about 3/4" to the stock location leafs with 235/45 tires. Hope this helps!

Well im hoping its a flaw in the headwork, otherwise im completely stumped because i carefully picked my combo. Obviously in hindsight i shouldve checked the heads but i trusted a shop that does them every day more than myself. Maybe i shouldnt have. Hopefully in a week or two ill have pics and...

Thats the insight i was looking for, i do not know about shims or clearance as i did not assemble them. Now i know what to check at disassembly, what should stem to guide clearance be?

Thanks for all the replies! Let me try to answer some questions. The first time it happened it was ex #7, second time in #7. This time it is intake #5. The heads were fitted with bigger valves and ported by what i thought was a reputable shop but with this being the third time i definatley wont...
