We dont want Grover to give you a bum steer!.

Remove the pump bowl & oil the seal both sides. This will help cork seals especially & also neoprene, twist the bowl as you tighten the bowl nut. Loosen the pump to carb line both ends, unless you have, [wisely] an inline filter. Undo the fuel pump mount nuts, & turn the engine till the push rod pushes the pump all the way up, this would be about 5/16" travel. now use your hand to pump away till the bowl is full. You could optionally prime it by sucking the fuel line from the carb end to get fuel up to the bowl. A dry engine needs twice as much fuel as you think to get running again, when you think you may have flooded it, that will be right!.

Do i have a intake air > leak,carb problem,timing problem? where do I start? Dr. Fred says you have a carb or fuel pump problem. I just went thru this drill on a '57 292, same problem. I'd rebuilt my Holley 500 2 bbl, and the thing would start and run ok for a few moments, then start running raw gas out of the carb into the engine. I changed the needle valve, and readjusted it, changed the float and finally cursed Holley for a pack of fools and swapped to an Autolite off a 351. Gee-Wiz same problem. Got to be a fuel pump I said, never saw a stock fuel pump that would overpower the float valve 'till now. Put in my spare, used, pump (which I never travel without) and problem's gone. Anyway, look into the carb bore with the engine running, and look for gas spilling out of the venturies in a stream, recheck the float setting and make sure the power valve and gasket (if used on your carb) is correct, doesn't have a leak thru it, and is screwed in tight. An air leak will not produce black smoke, and timing is unlikely to unless it's firing near BDC, in which case it probably pops, bangs and backfires. 47 Fred ------------------------------ From: PWPTRUCK1 aol.comDate: Fri, 2 Jun 2000 19:26:44 EDT Subject: wanted: 52 trim piece for front of hood Hi fellow FTEers. I am in need of the trim piece that goes on the front of the 52 hood. This is the part that the chrome V-8 emblem bolts to. I will pay a reasonable price plus shipping for a decent one. Please e-mail me off-line if you have one of these to sell. Thanks, Paul 52 F-3 ------------------------------ From: "Roy Maul" Subject: Advice needed! Date: Fri, 2 Jun 2000 18:27:03 -0700 Hello Fellow FTE'rs, I am in need of some advice. I have a '50 F2. It is my plan to put a C4 Auto tranny and an 8" rearend behind the flathead. I have an Offy 4bbl manifold that I plan to use. I was told that the best carb to use was a Holly 390 cfm with the Ford kickdown. I'm now told that the Holly 390 won't work with my stock distributor. Is that true? If it is true, why? What are my alternatives? I would really appreciate any help you all could offer. Thanks, Roy ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 02 Jun 2000 23:34:17 -0700 From: Marv & Marge Subject: Full Time The Listfather wrote: > Just took FTE full time as of 2 days ago My wish for you: That which you do so well and love so much should be a source of great joy and prosperity for you and yours.
