How about this for some confirmation? I have a new Spectre Fuel Tank....new Chinese...

    Looking at this setup for new fuel tank with pump

    What I dont like is, The tank costs $150....the pump costs $89....and as a combo....some joker wants $500 plus shipping..because they drilled holes and attached the pump. I guess its a better deal than a Aeromotive Phantom fuel pump setup...

    750 Holley or 650 Holley DP carb for 340-4 speed?

    I would go with the 4779 Holley 750 Double Pumper.....but know the 750's with the 4779 stamped choke horn.....get pricey. In a pinch or on a budget....I would buy a swap meet/ebay/fabo 4777 650 Double Pumper....for $100-$250 and put a ProForm 4777 Main body on it with No Choke provisions, and...

    Pump to Carb Hard Lines

    Looks good. :prayer: I previously had a rediculous amount of rubber hose (20") between the pump and carb....we all know what that looks like. I found this Hard Line set on Summit for a 340 with a Carter AVS http://www.summitracing.com/parts/rsd-rpc6806 and it fit like a champ.....and my car...

    Fuel Tank -16 gallons.....why can I only put in 10 gallons?

    Good stuff here too......worth a THANKS. just hate the thought of running out of gas in a busy intersection, and getting rear-ended. Already got cut-off and jumped a curb..3 weeks ago....screwed the front suspension all up....after leaving the scene, and trying to get away...(I had to chase...

    Fuel Tank -16 gallons.....why can I only put in 10 gallons?

    I have thought of this....but never done it....hate running out of gas....starving the Fuel Pump, and the chance to suck debris/crap off the bottom of the tank and clogging up a filter. Looks like thats what I need to do though...... You earned ANOTHER, THANKS-

    Fuel Tank -16 gallons.....why can I only put in 10 gallons?

    not dented or damaged....everything is in place as it should be. When I get to 9.5 - 10 gallons it clicks and if I try to put more fuel in it.....it overflows and runs down the side of the car...FULL. I have never tried to run it "below" displayed Empty.....and cant see that (2) senders are...

    Fuel Tank -16 gallons.....why can I only put in 10 gallons?

    Ok.....on my 1974 Dart Sport....Since I got the car...I have never been able to stuff more than about 9.5 gallons of fuel in the tank. I figured it was a bad/worn sender...and ordered a new Pickup/Sending Unit....got the 3/8" pickup one....ran the fuel level down till the gauge showed empty...

    Holley 600 Double pumper on a stock 318 Auto?

    Yes. As stated above....your gonna have to get used to driving it with a double pumper.....they are mechanical secondaries and can BOG under a load. On the Forced Induction 318 with a automatic trans it will be great. You going with a MP T70 single setup? I have been playing with this idea...

    Edelbrock 600 carb issue?

    x99 accelerator pump...$13.99 at O'Rielly's....on the shelf. I'd definetly replace that. Never hurts to do a Ignition Tune Up either....that plug looked like crap. You might pop the distributor cap, chunk it and the rotor, replace with new and go through all the plugs and wires....then...

    750 on a 318

    I have done it before.....like back in 99 !! I used a 750 DP with mechanical choke on a pretty "wild" 318....by that I mean it had a .550" lift 280* 110 cam, double roller chain, edelbrock RPM Air Gap, milled 302 heads, that were ported/polished, heddman headers, open exhaust...no...

    tuning question

    The majority of us tune on 86 octane pump gas and race on C12 or C16....I personally do not like biofuels...I just want the purest highest octane I can get....and even use Toluene on occasion. (2) 660's? 86 jets? Sounds fishy. I would go back down into the high 70's. Read the plugs and...

    Carb advice?

    Your idle set screw is too high, and your Air/Fuel screws are out to far. You need to REzero that carb. Set the timing with the vacuum hose unplugged...to the highest/steadiest vacuum reading. Screw both Air/Fuel screws in all the way. Back them out 1 1/2 turns from seated. Set the idle to...

    600 Eddy tuning

    It seems we all run, or have run Edelbrock Carbs. I run a worked 1406 on a Bigblock 400....no problem. From the sounds of it......I would Go Back to Initial Box Stock.....then you need to move the Accelerator Pump Rod DOWN to the bottom hole...Disconnect the Vacuum Advance hose, and plug the...

    Electric Fuel Pump, with Return- Fuel System Questions

    That was a cool setup. Alot like mine. I wanted to use the stock pickup/sender so my factory gauge would work. I will be bracing my 255 pump as well so it does not move around. I am going to use a one way check valve when I vent it....maybe a PCV valve or something....that and I intend to...

    Electric Fuel Pump, with Return- Fuel System Questions

    So....I am installing my 360/727 into my 74 Duster, in the next few weeks. I have done alot of research and reading but I have not found my answer yet so I figured I would ask for some input, and maybe a direction to go. I intend to Single Turbocharge my 360 later on down the road, so I...

    Stupid intake installation question

    I'll concur and tell you WHY RTV is not right. First get this. Do you know what happens to RTV after it cures...yeah we all do....it turns to jelly rubber. Do you know what is right underneath your intake? The Heart (cam) and the Soul (Crankshaft)...and the oil pan right? I lost a...

    Holley 750DP on 360 - Too Rich?

    I ran a 750DP on a 9:1 318 with no issues....granted it was jetted 68/70...6.5PV, and MAN it sure did run good.

    What size carb?

    ^ What he said. Is your Holley 650 a Spreadbore or SquareBore?..the easy way to tell is the Secondaries have larger Venturi's on a Spreadbore....squarebores have the same size venturi's on all corners. 650cfm is fine for up to a 450hp small block...although above 450 crank hp, your gonna...

    Toluene for octane

    Sure...I have used my fair share of Toluene and Xylene both. Makes 86 Octane regular sustain 30 psi of boost with no-detonation... = must work. Cool thing is its available at a Wal-Mart, Sherwin Williams near you.

    Exlene yah or nah

    Xylene or Toluene. I have ran both. I prefer Toluene. I would not recommend over 30% mixture (1 gal. to 3 gal of pump) Toluene/Xylene with pump gas.

    AFB carb kit

    The 4131S I have came off a 66' Chrysler T&C 440/727. I still have the car, engine, and transmission. Would ordering a kit for a 4295, transform the AFB into a compatible carb for a Mild 318?
