440 wont start when hot.

I'm sure the gauge is forking because it works fine when the engine is cool. And yes the motor was running on 0 fuel pressure.


I had the short block assembled by my machinist. He is supposed to be the best in the area.

I just ordered a fuel cooler and some line insulation. I didn't get the carb insulator yet. I need to get some playdough and measure how thick I can go. It's pretty tight in there and I'd hate to jam the air cleaner wingnut through my hood. lol. Hopefully this will fix the problem.

Is it possible my fuel pump could be going out? It is the original from the newyorker I pulled the motor from. But like I said I do get about 8 psi at startup. Is this a similar number to what you other bigblock guys have?
