thanks

thanks i'll look at it tommrow

yes

I cant get the choke to work on cold start any ideas ?

should be good...I had scott smith rebuild it

I have a 360 with a thermoquad carb on it, no matter what the timing is or how I set the curb idle screw I cant get it to go any lower then 1500 rpm...any ideas ?

mine shouldn't either but its pumping 25 psi

I have a 73 scamp with a carter electric fuel pump and I need to regulate the pressure. my fuel lines are in the stock location. I need to know where the best place to mount the regulator inline without any crazy twists or bends

nope

I have a 73 scamp with a 360, thermoquad carb and an edelbrock manifold, the stock carb linkage would not work with the manifold. so I got talked into buying a lokar setup. I first tried to hook it up the way I would hook up a stock one, when I pressed the gas pedal down it was too loose. then...

plenty, I would let the oil pressure build before I would try to start it

once it ran...the engine raced and I had to shut it down ( I'm still trying to break the engine in )

don't have one...I have a ready to run hei system

this is where I'm at now. put the thermoquad back on, left the fuel pump at the lowered position unhooked the purge canister plugged up those ports on the carb. now I'm getting almost 5psi by the carb. my new problem is it will run while I engage the starter as soon as I let off the key it...

this is what I'm leaning towards, I have pre-bent stainless lines there are a lot of bends. with the fuel pump only putting out 3psi ( at the pump) it may not be enough pressure to reach the front of the car.

pump works when running hose, but not the lines, blew low pressure air through lines no blockage, there was some fuel in the lines. wife was standing on other side of line...pretty funny. the problem is the same no matter which carb is on the car

I mounted the fuel pump lower, ( axle level) and I mounted the fuel pressure gauge up front. I'm not getting enough pressure to get a reading on my gauge. had the same problem with my mech. pump too

thanks...I'll try that later when I get home

I have a old crappy holley on it now..i'll put the thermoquad on it later

oops I ment the filter

I removed the pump

UPDATE: with fuel being drawn from the fuel can, I rigged up a long bypass line from the can to the carb, I'm getting 3psi at the gauge. the engine starts and stalls run for about a second then dies

the lowest point is the gas tank. last night I tried sucking out of a gas can trick BUT I left the pump output line hooked up, this time I did what you said and unhooked the output line and put the hose in an old metal can...it pumped, but when I put a pressure gage on it I got no reading

I tried that yesterday and it didn't work......is there a better place to mount the pump ?

the polarity is correct just for fun I switch them....same results

right above tank on the support

I took the mechanical pump off before I installed the electric one..i just up hooked the line from the electric fuel pump to the tank. I put the one end of the fuel line into a raised 1 gallon fuel can ( so I could gravity feed the fuel pump) turned on the pump got no reading on my pressure...

thanks, when I come home later ill try this

I removed the cap no difference

no
