Like I said. Good luck.
What year car do you have cudaracer? I know the caps can vary between the years.
You wrap your lines near the engine? Filet some hose big enough to fit over the steel line and pop it over as far as you can. Should help. Make sure your gas cap is venting, or that you have a two way vent in the tank.
If you do end up getting another carb, my pick is the QuickFuel Slayer with a wideband Got it on amazon for $320, wideband was $160. I'll help you tune that sucker in too!
What's your timing like?
Perfect.
timing is SOOO not the problem.
So, back to the carb question.
Thanks again, but I don't think it is vapor lock.
It can happen on a cool day same as a hot, and after running just a short while too. It is something else entirely.
^ save you breath, guy is working on:.
Did you try a new fuel cap yet? As far as the vent port goes, just put a rubber cap on it. It's for emissions crap. It only captures the fuel vapors instead of venting to the atmosphere.
I think I may have found the source of my problem (have to crank up after running a few minutes to get fuel to carb).
So I have the 1406 eddie carb in my 72 cuda with a 318. I have a vacuum canister, but the carb fuel bowl line was never hooked up, because there was no place to hook it to in the carb. Take a look at the eddie pic below. It shows a fuel vapor bowl line near the fuel inlet, but ONLY for the 1400 model. So is that my problem, in that I need to hook that up, but can't with the 1406 model?
So when I said perfect, I meant I don't want to touch it and it never had an effect anyway.
So,
feel free to apologize.
Or not, my life will go on.
Well, you could have said that instead of being arrogant about the question, which was legitimate. I wish you luck with asking, then acting too good to implement suggestion superiority crap isn't gonna solve your carb problem. THAT is why I posted that awesome picture.
I wish you luck fighting with a design issue, it's not the first or last Edelbrock 1406 to have fuel vapor issue. I suggest surfing google for similar carb problems, and see how they dealt with it. But do what your want to do, your going to anyway. :roll:
