So much for that. Nobody has a 2bbl spacer in stock. I was just going to mess with it out of curiosity but at this point I'll just wait until the new parts go on. New parts include a spacer. I'll probably go ahead and change the filters while I'm at it.

and then once I thought I had found it I hopped in the car to go ride down to the parts store for a new filter turned the ac on and shortly after it did the same thing. Carb is hot enough to boil off the fuel that's coming out of the accelerator pump. Time for a spacer?

Well.... just removed the fuel filter closest to the carb and it's happily chuggin away out there. Fingers crossed.

Just tested it with the fuel cap off and it did the same. Cranked right up and idled fine. Once it got warmed up it idles lower and lower until it dies. I checked the carb and the accelerator pumps still had fuel. Pumped the gas a couple of time and it cranked right up. It was just fine...

I really don't think it's spark related. If I pour fuel down the carb it will catch and I have to continue trickling fuel into the carb until it regains fuel prime. Then it will run a few minutes until losing fuel prime again. I'll mess around with it this weekend and see how it goes.

you are going to be circulating a lot of fuel through the return if you've matched an efi pump to a carb.

Opened the line and nothing changed. The car will start just fine when cold but after 5 minutes idling it will die and not restart unless I pour fuel down the carb. I've wrapped the fuel line from the pump to the carb in heat tape. Wrapped the headers in heat tape and it's still happening...

So that line should not be capped? Will I get fuel fumes in the engine bay if I uncap it?

\ May have had a vented gas cap. Just switched to this http://www.summitracing.com/parts/snn-10572/overview/make/plymouth/model/duster/year/1972chrome Stant cap a few days ago about the same time as adding headers. Did you just fix my "vapor lock"?

Thanks for the quick reply! That makes sense with people adding carter electric pumps with no regulator. The carb is acting as a regulator at those low pressures.

Me* feel ignorant. I'm hoping you guys in the know can help me out. Car- 1972 Duster 318 Currently wearing a stock 2bbl holley carb. It's on the way out but may be relevant to helping answer my question. There are 2 lines leaving my fuel tank headed to the front of the car. They look...

I will be changing this carb out for a Holley 650 DP in the not so distant future. I would be nice to have this one sold when it comes off.

Would you guess that after I had to use a little Marvel Mystery Oil to prime the carb after getting caught with no gas in the bottle it stopped having any issues? I guess the accelerator pump was gummed up and the MMO cleaned it up. Carb is working 100% now and I have a rebuild kit just in...

That's the idea. I can source the parts pretty cheap and I'm familiar with the turbo side of the equation. Tuning the carb will be a learning curve but nothing I can't handle. 500rwhp will put the car @ low 11s high 10s with good street manners. I'm thinking max boost of 15lbs on 93 octane...

^^ Pretty much what I've found on other forums. I'm only planning on making ~500rwhp so I'm thinking the 600cfm should be plenty big enough with 10lbs of boost going through it.

Long term plans for the car include a single turbo setup. The preferred carb over at theturboforums is a modded Holley double pumper. Even if I bought the carb new and made the mods to it it's still hundreds cheaper than buying a new blow through carb already set up. Not to mention I can prob...

My Photobucket was acting weird earlier so I used some other image hosting site. I swapped the original post back to Photobucket. Maybe that will fix the pics for you. Turns out the carb is a Holley 2280. After watching the instructional videos Mikes Carburetors put on YouTube I ordered a...

Well the local auto parts stores didn't have what I needed so I guess I'll be ordering a rebuild kit on the www. I'll update when there is something else to talk about.

First let me first say I know zero about carbs. I've never worked on them, never tuned them, never even had a vehicle that had one. So if some of my comments or questions seem a little low on the "common knowledge" meter please cut me a little slack. My Duster came equipped with a Holley 2bbl...
