If your still not getting enough fuel pressure then your problem is with the fuel, not the electronics. Insulate the fuel line and toss a small insulator type gasket/spacer under the carb and be done with it.
I haven't insulated it yet. I guess I was hoping moving it off the headers would be enough. I'm about to make a summitracing order so I'll go ahead and get some.
Orange box? What exactly are you refering to?
I dont know what my timing is set at yet. I just put it where it would run. I can either get it to run good but kicks back during startup or starts up easy and runs like hell. (and not in a good way) lol. I have it set right in the middle. What is a good number to have my initial set at?
Well I drove my Duster to get an alignment today. When I got to the alignment place I was at 190 degrees snd still had 8 lbs of fuel. double what I had before. But when I got home I decided to double check the gaugen again and it was back to zero. So its better than it was but not quite there yet. Should I invest is a fluid cooler and run my fuel through it? or would that help?
i am having the same exact issue cant figure it out.
What have you done / found so far?
FIRST get it hot and "troubled" and use a spark gap to see if you have a good hot start cranking. USE THE KEY to do this, rather than jumpering the relay.
If spark is OK, get busy
Best thing I did before going to EFI is
Build a return system in my case, used a 33040 or 33041 Wix filter which has a built in return orifice. You can also do this with a return type regulator.
Use a good carb heat isolator / spacer
Use a rear mount electric pump and pay attention to line routing. If in doubt add ceramic insulation / sleeving or even construct heat shields near exhaust, etc
the 1st question should be........... is there spark when its hot and wont start.......eliminate electrical...
id say vapor lock also is the spark is there, sometimes, depending on the intake and if it utilizes the heat riser.... you need to also use a phenolic spacer under the carb to keep the fuel from boiling away in the carb... i believe thats for the carter/edelbrock barbs..
